100% leased to two tenants through June 2023, the asset contains both industrial and office space on 13.74 acres of land in Attleboro’s premier industrial-office park. With the majority tenant paying well below market rent, 523 Pleasant Street provides a significant value-add investment opportunity with the ability to increase rents from mark-to-market on the asset.

The Property is situated on 6.23 acres of land in the Avon Industrial Park, one of New England’s largest industrial parks, sprawling over 700 acres and home to 127 companies and over 4,000 employees.

Prior to the COVID-19 crises, about 35% of industrial leasing activity was related to e-commerce. Now as much as 50% of industrial leasing activity has been tied to the online retail industry. Increased tenant demand for industrial space has attributed to a 7% increase in rental rates YTD, outpacing all property types. Via a modest capital improvement program, 40 Strafello Drive is ideally positioned to support the continued growth and demand for industrial assets located within the Greater Boston MSA.

NECCO Facility Revere, MA

Through VMD’s Private Equity network, VMD sourced and spearheaded the acquisition of the Iconic 826K sq ft NECCO candy manufacturing facility located at 135 American Legion Highway in Revere, MA through a joint venture with Atlantic Management. VMD realized it was critical to the assets’ acquisition to bifurcate NECCO’s operating company from NECCO’s real estate, and in doing so was able to acquire the real estate at approximately $60/sq ft, well below replacement cost.

In 2019, VMD secured a 10-year lease from Amazon to occupy 100% of the property as their last-mile distribution facility, rendering Amazon the largest employer of the City of Revere.

In January 2020, VMD sold the property to Clarion Partners for $355 Million ($430 per SF).

Silver Square Dover, NH

VMD acquired the former Macintosh College located off of Route 16 in New Hampshire’s Seacoast, an area widely considered the state’s economic hub. The college had in excess of 19 acres of underlying real estate which VMD utilized to reposition into a 200,000 sq ft mixed-use community.

  • 200 Forest St Marlborough, MA

    VMD was brought into this mixed-use development located at 200 Forest St in Marlborough, MA by Atlantic Management to spearhead the retail component of the office development.
    Title
  • 2468 Lafayette Rd Portsmouth, NH

    VMD acquired 2468 Lafayette Rd, Portsmouth, NH from an estate sale at well below replacement cost. The asset was a landmark in the Seacoast market, having been an operational carwash for over 75 years. However, the business was entrenched with poor management, theft and deferred maintenance.

    2468
  • Enterprise Bank Pelham, NH

    VMD acquired an undeveloped tract of land in the town of Pelham, NH and served as the developer for the publicly traded Enterprise Bank to develop their 19th branch location.

    The development was saddled with multiple obstacles. The project required 4 variances, 11 waivers and multiple state approvals. VMD secured all variances and waivers within 60 days of submission from the town of Pelham and all state approvals shortly thereafter.

    Enterprise
  • 581 Lafayette Rd, Portsmouth, NH

    VMD worked relentlessly to option this property that had been an iconic movie theater in Portsmouth for 80 years. VMD was the first group able to make contact with ownership. VMD’s market intel is what uniquely positioned the acquisition, specifically being made aware of a traffic signal that the state was installing at the property’s front door. This traffic signal positioned the property to appeal to a multitude of tenants and reconfigured the ingress and egress surrounding the underlying real estate.

    VMD underwrote the highest and best use for the asset, and decided to flip its position based on market conditions at the time.

Multifamily Developments in Massachusetts and New Hampshire

VMD has developed and acquired in excess of 475 multifamily market-rate apartments throughout Greater Boston, Massachusetts, and New Hampshire.

These developments have been sourced and procured by VMD’s network. VMD has overseen all aspects of these respective acquisitions and developments.

Over $100MM of equity has been deployed on this opportunistic multifamily strategy that has exceeded expectations for all financial metrics originally underwritten.

Association Takeovers

In 2008 when the great recession commenced and VMD’s primary asset class focus at the time was retail, the company acknowledged an opportunity for a new investment strategy.

VMD started acquiring delinquent condo associations that were in arrears due to the downturn. The majority of these condo complexes and associations thought that paying their mortgage first would buy them time. However, due to Massachusetts law, an HOA fee supersedes a first mortgage.

The Company acquired multiple complexes that were not financeable to the conventional buying pool. It then legally restructured these associations and funded them with the necessary reserves to convert a non-financeable asset back into a financeable asset, thus bringing back to the conventional buying pool.

These transactions had very limited construction risk and were focused primarily on re-positioning the assets through the necessary legalities.
