The Newmark Grubb Knight Frank (NGKF) brokerage team of Neil Shupak and Justin Bell recently sold two industrial properties in the Greater Philadelphia Region: 3015 Darnell Road in Philadelphia and 200 Park Avenue in Warminster, Pennsylvania.
3015 Darnell Road, a one-story 21,500-square-foot industrial building situated on 1.8 acres of land, sold to Wolf Pack, LP for $1,025,000 or $47.67 per square foot. The property’s unique size, off-street parking and proximity to major highways quickly appealed to several potential buyers, ultimately resulting in the best price for the seller. The sale closed just 98 days after the listing agreement was signed. Neil Shupak and Justin Bell represented the sellers, Jerry and Brenda Frebowitz in this transaction.
200 Park Avenue, a 150,000-square-foot industrial building situated on 5.8 acres was sold to D&B Pharma Real Estate Partners for $3,851,100 or $25.67 per square foot. The building boasts 26-foot ceiling height, off-street parking and loading capabilities which attracted interest from both users and investors who understood the potential that this property offers. 200 Park Avenue provided the buyer with a truly unique manufacturing and distribution facility that cannot be affordably found anywhere else in the greater Philadelphia area. NGKF represented the seller in the sale as well as negotiated a 35,000-square-foot lease for them at their new location in Montgomeryville, Pennsylvania. D&B Pharma Real Estate Partners were represented by Kurt Eisenschmid of Penn’s Grant Realty.
NGKF’s marketing efforts and local market expertise generated significant activity with multiple bidders competing for each property. 3015 Darnell Road sold for 93 percent of the asking price and 200 Park Avenue sold for over 100 percent of the asking price. Both properties closed less than 120 days from the date of the executed listing agreement. NGKF’s knowledge of the market and potential competition maximized the return on investment for its clients.
