"It was a good time for them to sell," Phillip Burgess, president of Malden, MA-based Burgess Properties Inc. tells GlobeSt.com. Burgess represented the seller and procured the buyer in the deal. He points out that there is heavy demand for these types of buildings lately, with a solid return and credit-worthy tenants. "The stock market is doing poorly," he says. "Now everyone is chasing after the same type of properties."
