Avon’s ex-Boyles furniture store listed at $3.5M

The revolving Avon site of several furniture-store chains is for sale at $3.5 million, brokers say. The vacant, 20,500-square-foot free-standing building on 2.73 acres at 15 Waterville Road, at the intersection of Routes 44 and 10, most recently housed Boyles Furniture & Rugs. The North Carolina retailer shut what was then its first Northeast location in late 2015. Before that, the building once housed Connecticut retailer Nassau Furniture. Listing broker Reno Properties Group LLC says the building also is available for lease at $20 a square foot triple-net. With 70 parking spaces and its location, Reno says the site is ideal as a medical office, bank, pharmacy, restaurant, or free-standing retail or strip center. TRC opens Vernon office TRC Cos. Inc. has signed on as a commercial tenant in Vernon's Loom City Lofts development, the landlords say. The Lowell, Mass., engineering, environmental consulting and construction manager leased 810 square feet in the property for a satellite office at 215 E. Main St. TRC also has Windsor offices at 21 Griffin Road North. Hartford developer/landlord Marc S. Levine and Westport architect Joseph V. Vallone, doing business as Rockville L.P., in 2015 co-developed the dilapidated former Roosevelt Mill property into 68 upper-floor apartments. With the housing units fully leased, the landlords say they are now turning their attention to filling the rest of Loom City Lofts' 7,000 square feet of ground-floor commercial-retail space now about 27 percent leased. Commercial suites feature waterfall views via a wall of large operable windows, 10-foot ceilings, open floor plans, separately metered utilities and high-speed internet. Berlin industrial available A 22,600-square-foot hunk of a Berlin industrial building is available for lease, brokers say. The 109,265-square-foot building is on 16 acres at 500 Four Rod Road, said lease broker Reno Properties Group LLC. It features 20- to 32-foot high ceilings, separate utilities, permitted outside storage and tractor-trailer parking, and a new roof installed last fall. Space is minimally divisible to 2,400 square feet. Annual rent is $5.75 to $10 per square foot. Plainville retail-center listed Plainville's Olde Canal Square Shopping Center is for sale, brokers say. The 35,000-square-foot, two-building commercial-retail center is at 17 Farmington Ave. Tenants include AAA, Bagels Plus, Lee's Garden and Pottery Piazza, said listing broker Reno Properties Group LLC. The asking price is available upon request. The Plainville assessor's office lists the combined value of both 30-year-old buildings on 3 acres at $2.7 million. Bloomfield sale-leaseback A 22,700-square-foot Bloomfield industrial building is available for sale or as a sale/leaseback opportunity, brokers say. The building, with manufacturing as a secondary use, is on 3.44 acres at 9 Britton Drive and is offered for sale at $795,000, according to listing broker Sentry Commercial. Built in 1967, it has 2,350 square feet of office space; three 10-foot by 10-foot docks; and one 10-foot by 12-foot dock. Deal Watch wants to hear from you.
