The Seller, Jessica Wolfe, Trustee of Berson-Wolfe Realty Trust commented, “The property has been in our family since the 1940’s - for three generations and after careful consideration, we felt selling to Linear Retail was the right thing to do. Linear Retail was very professional to work with. We will miss our community and believe we are leaving them in good hands.”
Aubrey Cannuscio, Partner – Acquisitions for Linear Retail commented, “We were thrilled to be able to expand our holdings in this terrific town. With our increased critical mass, we expect to have greater ability as well as a greater responsibility to help maintain Wellesley Square’s vibrancy and relevance in today’s rapidly changing retail environment. Fortunately, we already have many quality operators well-positioned to serve the community for many years to come.”
