Time & Temp Sign to Feature MCB Fundraising Campaign

[PORTLAND, MAINE | April 13, 2022] Malone Commercial Brokers is pleased to announce they will be taking over the iconic “Call Joe” Time and Temperature sign from May 2nd through May 4th. Watch for the acronym “MCB 4ME” decorating the Portland skyline.

This abbreviation, short for “Malone Commercial Brokers for Maine,” is a fundraising effort to support Maine students. The sign campaign coincides with the sold-out annual MEREDA Strikes for Scholars Bowl-a-Thon Fundraiser event on May 5th, where MCB is a yearly participant.

According to Molly McGuire, Ops Manager/Designated Broker at MCB, “The idea came about at the 100+ Women Who Care annual fundraiser auction, when I won the bid for three days on the Time and Temp sign, I thought it would be a great opportunity for MCB to expand even further on MEREDA’s Strikes for Scholars Campaign.”

Malone Commercial Brokers (MCB) is asking locals who see the MCB 4ME message on the sign from May 2-4, 2022 to snap a photo of it and post it on their social media accounts with the hashtag #MCB4ME. For each tag and share, MCB will donate to the ACE Mentor Program of Maine and AGC Maine Education Foundation. “We encourage people to have fun with these posts. We’d love to see selfies, puppy pix and sunsets with the MCB 4ME sign,” says Susie Pollard, Marketing Specialist at MCB. The top shares and posts with the hashtag #MCB4ME will be featured on MCB social media and website. For more details on the program and donation opportunities, go to www.malonecb.com.

Leading Maine Developer Expands Presence in Gorham

Maine Commercial Real Estate

Malone Commercial Brokers is pleased to announce the sale of 12 Bartlett Road, centrally located in the industrial corridor of Gorham, to Northland Enterprises. This industrial project, comprised of 20,600± SF Class A warehouse space that includes office space, an additional 5,000± SF mezzanine and capability of up to 9,600± SF of additional space, is 100% occupied with a long-term janitorial supply tenant. The sale was brokered by Brandon Mitchell and Mark Malone, CCIM, of Malone Commercial Brokers.

When broker Brandon Mitchell learned that the current owners wished to sell the property they occupy, he immediately alerted Northland Enterprises CEO Josh Benthien, who had been looking for the right acquisition opportunity to add to the growing Northland portfolio of commercial investments. Mitchell also had an ongoing relationship with the current owner/tenant, so he felt this would be a mutually beneficial transaction for both parties, “As soon as I heard this project was coming on the market, I made sure they [Northland] were the first to see it. With such a quality tenant and the immaculate condition of the facility, we knew it would go fast. Northland jumped on it and wrote an offer that day.”

According to Benthien, “Northland specializes in build to suits and sale lease backs, with a long-term investment philosophy. When we acquire a building and sign a lease, we do so with the expectation that we’ll be partners with that tenant for ten years or longer. A key to success in these landlord-tenant relationships is open communication, shared values, and a desire to facilitate long term value in both the building and the tenant’s business.” 12 Bartlett Road sold for the listing price of $3.75 million.
