Wheelock Street Capital and Novaya Real Estate Ventures Purchase Fourteen Property Portfolio

BOSTON, MASSACHUSETTS – Novaya Real Estate Ventures and Wheelock Street Capital recently completed the acquisition of 14 properties from RREEF, a division of Deutsche Bank AG. The portfolio totals over 1.1 million square feet of office and industrial space dispersed across Greater Boston with properties located in Andover, Marlborough, Hopkinton, Bedford, Westford, Methuen, and Littleton.

Novaya’s Principal, Peter Carbone, commented, “Given the continued tightening in the Greater Boston real estate market, we believe this transaction offers excellent upside potential. We are very excited and appreciate the opportunity to partner up with Wheelock Street, and we anticipate investing heavily in the assets prior to re-introducing them to the tenant market for leasing.

Both Wheelock and Novaya would like to thank RREEF for their efforts in this transaction as well as Rob Griffin and Matt Pullen of Newmark Grubb Knight Frank who brokered the deal on behalf of the seller.
