With Wednesday being the New Year’s Day holiday and with the blizzard that closed the courthouse early on Thursday and all day on Friday, it was a mixed week in Lowell real estate. There were some noteworthy transactions: On Tuesday, a large mill complex on Jackson Street sold for $2mil but the buyers also recorded mortgages securing $23mil in financing which undoubtedly will be used for renovations; and UTEC purchased the former Lowell Community Health Center on Warren Street which is adjacent to UTEC’s headquarters. It seems like the center of gravity for downtown is sliding down Central Street towards Jackson and away from Merrimack Street. Anyway, here are the sales for the past week:
