who is president
of realty company
Emerald Empire.
The seller was a
realty syndication,
GCCFC 2007-GG9
Columbus Blvd.
LLC. Built in 1987,
the sold units had
been in the hands
of a servicing
agent, LNR.
The edifice
known for its silver-
maroon cladded
exterior shaped
like the popular holiday confection, was foreclosed
on and placed with a special servicer after the owner
of the non-condominium portion of the building
fell behind on its refinanced 10-year, $17.5 million
mortgage set to mature in July 2017.
Berlin manufacturer
eyes expansion, plans
to build new HQ
Amid growing demand from its commercial
customer base, a Berlin metal fabrication shop
needs more space, but its planned move will be as
convenient as it gets.
Complete Sheet Metal has been leasing 3,600
square feet at 500 Four Rod Road since Berlin native
Jeff Michaud founded the business in 2017. It's one
of several industrial tenants in the approximately
100,000-square-foot building, which is owned by
Cromwell-based realty developer William Coons III.
Now, Michaud has struck a deal with Coons'
LLC to subdivide and purchase an open 2.4-acre
portion of the 22-acre property, where Michaud will
construct a new 11,500-square-foot building for his
shop, effectively tripling his space.
The project could cost somewhere between
$800,000 and $1 million, Michaud said.
That's a sizable investment for a company with six
full-time employees (up from three when it opened),
but Michaud wants to buy new machines for folding
metal into custom shapes and perhaps expand his
product lines.
Complete Sheet Metal operates solely in the
commercial market. Core clients include roofers,
window installers, masonry companies and exterior
wall panel contractors.
PDS has been meeting
the needs of the
