A father and son real estate investing duo recently paid $1.45 million for a retail strip in Windsor Locks and an office building in South Windsor.
A limited liability company run by Jeffrey Harbey, of Agawam, Massachusetts, sold the 24,000-square-foot retail plaza at 5 National Drive to a limited liability company whose principals are Douglass and Jesse Schneider of Ellington.
The town logged the sale of the 1984-vintage building and associated 3.3 commercial acres on Feb. 24.
Jesse Schneider said he and his father intend to make significant repairs to the Windsor Locks property.
“At this point the plan is to fix this place up and make it a nice property,” Schneider said.
Schneider said he and his father were able to get a bargain on the Windsor Locks property because they concurrently paid $600,000 for a 5,768-square-foot office building at 1209 John Fitch Blvd., in South Windsor from another LLC run by Harbey.
Schneider said he has a party interested in leasing the 57-year-old South Windsor office building.
