Leading Maine Developer Expands Presence in Gorham

Maine Commercial Real Estate

Malone Commercial Brokers is pleased to announce the sale of 12 Bartlett Road, centrally located in the industrial corridor of Gorham, to Northland Enterprises. This industrial project, comprised of 20,600± SF Class A warehouse space that includes office space, an additional 5,000± SF mezzanine and capability of up to 9,600± SF of additional space, is 100% occupied with a long-term janitorial supply tenant. The sale was brokered by Brandon Mitchell and Mark Malone, CCIM, of Malone Commercial Brokers.

When broker Brandon Mitchell learned that the current owners wished to sell the property they occupy, he immediately alerted Northland Enterprises CEO Josh Benthien, who had been looking for the right acquisition opportunity to add to the growing Northland portfolio of commercial investments. Mitchell also had an ongoing relationship with the current owner/tenant, so he felt this would be a mutually beneficial transaction for both parties, “As soon as I heard this project was coming on the market, I made sure they [Northland] were the first to see it. With such a quality tenant and the immaculate condition of the facility, we knew it would go fast. Northland jumped on it and wrote an offer that day.”

According to Benthien, “Northland specializes in build to suits and sale lease backs, with a long-term investment philosophy. When we acquire a building and sign a lease, we do so with the expectation that we’ll be partners with that tenant for ten years or longer. A key to success in these landlord-tenant relationships is open communication, shared values, and a desire to facilitate long term value in both the building and the tenant’s business.” 12 Bartlett Road sold for the listing price of $3.75 million.

Maine Commercial Real Estate

The Gorham Industrial Park is poised for rapid growth since its purchase in 2020 by the Town of Gorham. Covering an area of approximately 141 acres and well-situated with close access to I-95, the Gorham Industrial Park is expected to attract substantial interest from industrial and creative business owners seeking a stake in Maine’s growing economy.

With potential financing with the Town of Gorham via their Revolving Loan Fund program and a central location in Greater Portland, Mike Anderson, lead broker for the park, expects the lots to sell out within the next couple of years, “The seller is a forward-thinking, progressive municipality, and we’re confident we will find the right mix of businesses to take advantage of this rare development opportunity.”
