Printer Buys Former 142,000-SF EB Games HQ

WEST CHESTER, PA-BPG Properties Ltd. has sold the 142,000-sf former EB Games headquarters at 931 Matlack St. to Anro Inc., a printing company that will consolidate from three current locations in Devon, Strafford and Malvern. Philadelphia-based BPG acquired the Matlack building and a 314,521-sf distribution facility at 200 W. Stewart Hudson Dr. in Sadsbury for $21 million in June 2006.

Grapevine, TX-based GameStop acquired Electronics Boutique, the former parent of EB Games, in May 2005 and put both EB Games facilities up for sale. Prior to closing on the portfolio, BPG obtained a full-building lease for the Sadsbury facility from Communication Design Testing Inc., which relocated from a property it occupied here.

The Matlack property was vacant at the time of Anro’s acquisition. It is located on 13 acres adjacent to Route 202 and consists of 55,000 sf of office space and 87,000 sf of warehouse space, including a 3,500-sf cafeteria and 2,500-sf data center. According to public records, the property traded for $12.2 million.
