The Meadows, located at 155 and 161 Worcester Rd. (Route 9), traded for $25 million, while Maric Inc. harvested 959 Concord St. for $13.7 million and 125 Newbury St. for $5.2 million. GlobeSt.com previously reported that CRP and Maric were negotiating to complete the off-market transaction, which was orchestrated by the Boston office of Eastdil Secured. Maric paid an aggregate of $42 million in buying the building between 1995 and 2005.

Although the sale has closed, efforts to wean a response from the parties involved were unsuccessful, as in the case of the original article. CRP officials declined comment and Maric principal Mark Rubin did not return a call by press deadline. Also keeping mum are brokers at Eastdil Secured, whose Boston team includes James McCaffrey, Peter Joseph, Christopher Phaneuf and Sara Lagosh.

Market watchers say the overall quality of the properties likely helped the deal survive what has been a harsh climate for investment sales to date in 2005. "Maric is to be commended for putting together such a high quality (portfolio)," one veteran broker tells GlobeSt.com. The source says that the firm's management of the buildings has kept them competitive despite the age of the structures, some of which came on line more than 20 years earlier. The Framingham Corporate Center, known to locals as 492 Old Connecticut Path, was developed in the 1980s into 165,000-sf of high-end office space and today is regarded as a prime location for suburban tenants.
