BOSTON-- On behalf of Brattle Arms Trust, Cushman & Wakefield of Massachusetts, Inc. announced the sale of Brattle ARMS, an exceptional multi-family community consisting of 40 residential units for $10.835 million. 

C&W’s Capital Markets Group of Robert E. Griffin, Jr., Marci Griffith Loeber, Christopher T. Griffin and Brian R. Doherty exclusively represented the seller and procured the buyer -- local player Chestnut Hill Realty. 

 Situated in the very heart of Harvard Square, only steps to Harvard Yard and the surrounding academic expanse, Brattle ARMS is perfectly located to take advantage of the significant demand for housing from both graduate students and professors.  Residents are afforded immediate access to all of Cambridge’s finest attractions including the Charles River, Kendall Square and, of course, Harvard and MIT. 

“Without question, Brattle ARMS is a niche property with unique appeal.  Given the community’s proximity to Harvard and its dynamic location, Brattle ARMS has historically performed very well with occupancy continually hovering in the 100% range,” said Brian Doherty of Cushman & Wakefield.  “Due to its coveted location -- in the heart of Harvard Square -- and vibrant urban setting, Brattle ARMS will enjoy success for years to come.” 

“We are pleased to add this signature property to our already existing 200-unit portfolio in the Harvard Square/Cambridge market.  Citibank provided the acquisition financing and I found the Citibank organization to be very helpful and accommodating to complete this transaction,” says Peter Poras, Chief Financial Officer with Chestnut Hill Realty.
