Kevin Welsh commented, “We are extremely pleased to have represented Ivy Realty and Waterfall Asset Management on the sale of 40 & 45 Technology Drive. This sale signified the culmination of a highly successful repositioning of the campus, which included the rebranding to Warren Innovation Center and implementing an extensive capital improvement program. The successful repositioning was further illustrated by signing a long-term lease for 67,000 SF with Huber + Suhner Astrolab Inc for its US HQ at 40 Technology Drive.
This marks the third sale that Newmark has completed at Warren Innovation Center for the joint venture over the last 15 months, including 7 Powder Horn Drive and 30 Technology Road. These sales totaled more than $57 million.
