A Watertown-based real estate firm has purchased 11 Southbridge-based apartment buildings for a combined $7.95 million.
Archer Acquisitions, a firm focused on multi-family buildings and RV parks, purchased the properties in five separate deals closed on Monday, according to Worcester District Registry of Deeds records.
Archer purchased the following properties:
- 88 Cross St., 664-666 Main Street, 114-116 Charlton St., 172-174 Charlton St., 69-73 Cross St., from GJD LLC of Newton for $2.96 million.
- 7-21 Union St. from Michael Kline for $1.59 million.
- 71-75 West St. and 32-42 Worcester St., from 39 Newton Street LLC, a Newton-based firm, for $1.53 million.
- 99 Cross St. from Wheeler LLC, a Newton-based firm, for $583,461.
- 114 Pine St. and 573 Main St. from 12-14 Tirrell Street LLC, a Newton-based firm, for $1.3 million.
All of these properties were owned by entities tied to Kline, a resident of Newton.
In total, the properties have a combined occupancy of 85 and a 2024 tax assessment value of $5.96 million, according to City of Southbridge property records.
Archer specializes in multi-family properties that fall into the Class B or Class C type, according to the firm’s website.
Class B properties are buildings featuring high-quality construction but require renovation, while Class C properties are buildings in need of significant physical upgrades, according to the website of GowerCrowd, a California-based marketing firm focusing on the real estate industry.
Archer’s purchase follows in the wake of the May purchase of two Southbridge apartments by a Florida-based firm.
