Norfolk County Register of Deeds William P. O’Donnell reported that in 2021, seventeen properties, all commercial, sold for more than $50,000,000.

4. 180-370 Providence Highway, known as the “Dedham Mall” with 510,000 square feet of retail space, sold in November for $108,154,573;
5. 1 Investors Way, Norwood, a 54 acre property with an office building adjacent to the Moderna property, slated to be developed into a bio-manufacturing facility, sold in April for $105,000,000;

7. 155 King Street, Cohasset, a 226 unit apartment complex built in 2012 and known as the “Preserve at Cohasset”  sold in January for $90,250,000;
8. 100 Hilltop Drive, a 22 acre, 300 unit apartment complex built in 2004 and known as the “Preserve in Walpole”, sold in November for $$87,600,000;
9. 10 Faxon Avenue, Quincy, a 10 story, 200 unit apartment building built in 2006 and known as the “Amelia Apartments”, sold in July for $84,000,000; and
10. 625 Thomas Burgin Parkway, Quincy, a 180 unit apartment complex built in 2016 and  known as “Mill Creek Residences”, sold in February for $61,600,000.  

“Despite the pandemic, the Norfolk County commercial real estate market was one of the busiest in years”, noted Register O’Donnell. “It appears that the top sales consisted primarily of residential apartment complexes but the development of the three properties in Norwood, Bellingham and Franklin bodes well for the Norfolk County economy in terms of employment and tax revenue. The top ten sales generated over $4.6 million in excise taxes for the state and county. We hope 2022 continues in a positive trend”.
