Just Closed – Santander Bank Portfolio

DATE December 6, 2020 / AUTHOR Zebra

CATEGORY Just Sold, Uncategorized

We are happy to announce a successful closing of two high quality investment properties net leased to Santander Bank. Well located in Connecticut and Massachusetts, these investments were both on short-term leases, reducing the buyer pool and creating challenges in procuring a suitable investor who understands the investments’ profiles. We dug deep into our database and leveraging our deep knowledge of the Northeast retail markets, we sourced a few competitive offers from local investors. Properties were sold to a sophisticated New England based investor with intimate knowledge of the sub-markets.  

Both seller and the buyer were sourced during Covid-19 lockdown by Zebra Capital brokers, proving our team’s ability to deliver exceptional execution and close transactions in unusual circumstances and 100% touchless environment.  Zebra Capital team was led by a duo of seasoned brokers, Ned Zivkovic and Niko Micin, in partnership with our New York based broker lead, Bosko Stankovic.
