CBRE’s Jeffrey Gage and Robert Crane represented the seller, Morganth Properties LLC in the negotiations. In addition, CBRE performed a building condition assessment and a phase 1 environmental study for the property.

“The site will house an existing Subaru dealership which is relocating and expanding in Norwalk,” said Gage. “The site, which was formerly leased to Best Friends Pet Hotel, closed when the business was sold to the Lakefield Veterinary Group. We had several potential retail prospects express interest, but Garavel was ideal as the site was best suited for an automotive dealership.”
