Silton Glass Property Sold at Auction

The owner of the Brazilian bakery next to Silton Glass in downtown Framingham was the winning bidder in yesterday’s auction.

The Town of Framingham had The Zekos Group auction off the downtown Framingham commercial property to recover $180,000 in unpaid taxes and liens.

The bidding for the property started at $200,000. The high bid was $750,000 by an attorney representing Delio Lopes, who owns the recently renovated Pao Brasil Bakery next door to the Silton Glass property.

There were more than a dozen bidders, according to one Town Meeting member who attended the auction.

Silton Glass, at 618 Waverly Street, opened in Framingham in the 1930s. The company moved to a new location in Ashland a few years ago. The Town of Framingham foreclosed on the property in 2014, for non-payment of taxes for more than 5 years.

The property auctioned off was 0.93 acres and was auctioned “as is.” The property is on the corner of Mellen Street and Route 135 near the Walgreens.

The parking lot between the bakery and Silton Glass was not part of the auction. It is owned by a bank, due to a lack of payment.
