Abbey Road Buys Two Fairfield Buildings

FAIRFIELD, CT-Two office buildings here at 777 Commerce Dr. and 1375 Kings Hwy. East have changed hands. Abbey Road Advisors LLC has purchased the two office properties that total more than 90,000 sf from New York City-based Celestial Capital Group Inc. for $20.7 million.

Both buildings are at or near fully leased. The 777 Commerce Dr. property is a two-story building totaling 62,545 sf. The Kings Hwy. East location is a three-story building containing nearly 30,000 sf.

Matthew Keefe, president of HK Group, represented the buyer and the seller in the transaction.

Abbey Road Fairfield secured a three-year adjustable rate loan with CIT Lending Services Corp. HFF officials say the loan proceeds were used to acquire both properties. HFF managing director Tim Breda of the firm’s Hartford office and director Christine Riniti, who works in its Westport location, helped arrange the financing for the buyer.
