STRATEGIC LOCATION: The Property benefits from its central location just off VT Route 62, with close and convenient access to US Route 302 and Interstate 89. The Property is approximately 0.25-miles from the Edward F Knapp State Airport. The Property is strategically positioned in between downtown Montpellier and downtown Barre, both approximately 5-miles away.

AREA ECONOMIC DRIVERS: The Property is well positioned within the area’s commercial district. The immediate area along Granger Road is home to several industrial/warehouse facilities, and the area’s primary retailers are within 1-mile of the Property, including, the Berlin Mall, Walmart Supercenter, Shaw’s, and Kohl’s. Additionally, the Property is less than 1.5-miles from the Central Vermont Medical Center Hospital, Vermont Psychiatric Care Hospital, Berlin Health & Rehab Center, and several UVM Health Network facilities.

E-COMMERCE RESISTANT INVESTMENT: With an Aging baby-boomer population, and strong area demographics, the need for brick and mortar medical office buildings will continue to increase. This industry is unaffected by recessions and the need for personal interaction and specific medical aids can not be satisfied through e-commerce.
