City Realty Buys Property Next to Allston Development

Brookline-based City Realty has acquired an apartment building in Allston for $2.6 million next to its recently approved $127 million Allston Square development.

Brookline-based Newman Properties sold the seven-unit building at 1 Linden St. for $2.6 million as part of a 1031 exchange to free up capital for acquisitions on the North Shore in 2020, CEO Matthew Newman said in a statement. Newman Properties acquired the property for $919,000 in 2003.
In November, City Realty received Boston Planning and Development Agency approval to build 244 condominiums and 103 apartments at its six-building Allston Square project, including renovation of the former Jack Young Auto Parts building at the corner of Cambridge and Linden streets.

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.
