Feinstein, Executive Managing Director of The Hampshire Companies. "These properties are well located and offer considerable advantages to potential tenants, making them attractive acquisitions for our investment fund portfolio."
Robert Daglio, Senior Vice President of the Hartford, Conn. office of CB Richard Ellis, represented Hampshire and the seller in the transaction.
The Hampshire Generational Fund, LLC, is a commingled, discretionary real estate investment fund. The goal of the Fund is to deliver superior, above-market returns to its investors through the acquisition and operation of industrial, retail, and office products as well as an investor in other real estate funds.
