Belfonti Companies And A. Secondino And Son To Market Branford 120 Acre Property With Cushman & Wakefield
BRANFORD, Conn., April 6, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -- Belfonti Companies and A. Secondino and Son are pleased to announce that they have entered into an exclusive listing agreement with Cushman & Wakefield of Connecticut, Inc. for the sale of Bittersweet Farm, a 120+- acre development site in Branford, CT. It is expected that the site will be sold for the development of modern high-bay warehouse/logistics space, last mile distribution centers, industrial/manufacturing facilities, or biotech/pharmaceutical offices and laboratories.
The property was originally purchased by a Belfonti-Secondino partnership from the CuraGen Corporation, a biopharmaceutical development company. It consists of approximately 120+/- acres of industrially zoned land which borders both Interstate 95 and Route 1 in Branford, CT. Two of the site's most appealing features are its direct access to I-95 North and South and its visibility from the highway.
"Our partnership believes that now is the optimum time to sell," said Al Secondino, "especially given the current high demand for last mile distribution centers and high-bay warehouses."
"Our site is just 10 minutes from Yale's downtown New Haven campus, which is experiencing tremendous growth in the biotech and pharmaceutical fields. Bittersweet is one of the last large parcels of land on I-95 which can support such growth," added Michael Belfonti.
According to Matthew Torrance of Cushman & Wakefield, "Demand for developable acreage along I-95 with on and off ramps has never been higher. In addition, we have seen an enormous increase in the demand for land for modern warehouses and last mile distribution centers. This is an asset class that continues to grow exponentially. We are excited to be partnering with Belfonti and Secondino in marketing the Branford site and we expect to quickly receive multiple offers for this prime property."
