Newman Real Estate completes $2.6m Apartment Building Sale

Allston, MA Newman Real Estate Investment LP, completed the sale of a seven-unit apartment building located at 1 Linden St. The buyer was 140 Minden, LLC. This was a direct deal between buyer and seller with no broker involvement. The asset sold for $2.6 million and is part of a 1031 tax-free exchange.

Matthew Newman, principal, and CEO of Newman Properties explains why the company decided to sell the asset, “Ultimately, the decision to sell the property was to free up capital for growth opportunities on the North Shore of Massachusetts. Our goal in the coming year is to expand our portfolio in the North Shore area.”

Newman Properties has owned and operated the 1 Linden since 2003. The building consists of seven apartments; one studio, four one-bedrooms, one two-bedroom, and one three-bedroom/two bathroom. The property also has billboards on the roof with visibility via the Mass Turnpike driving in and out of Boston. The building features amenities such as a laundry room in the building, professional management, unbeatable skyline views of Boston, and access to public transit. Several of the apartments were renovated over the past few years. 

Newman Properties owns and manages over 500 residential units as well as numerous office and retail properties. The company has bought and sold over $500 million worth of property in the areas surrounding Boston and the South Shore. 

Currently, the company has projects in the pipeline that include condo conversions, renovation, and value-added projects, as well as buy and hold projects. Additionally, the company is overseeing multiple developments, including ground-up construction projects, and is seeking new acquisitions.

Property management company expands Onset holdings
By Appfolio Websites 26 May, 2021
Newman Properties, which purchased seven buildings in Onset back in October, has purchased two more Onset buildings, adding a total of ten new apartments to the company’s portfolio. The properties are located at 4-6 W Central Ave. and 17 Union Ave., and both were purchased directly from the seller without a broker. “We decided to add to our portfolio in this area because we felt these properties would fit in nicely with our existing portfolio in the Onset and Buzzards Bay area,” said Shoshana Baraschi-Ehrlich, the marketing coordinator for the company. In October, the company purchased seven buildings in Onset. With the addition of the two new buildings, the company now owns 68 apartments and 12 commercial rentals in Onset, and Baraschi-Ehrlich said the company will likely continue to expand its holdings in the area. Only one unit owned by the company in Onset is currently available: A small studio apartment ringing in at $1,300 per month, including utilities.
