Nov. 4, 2013- CBRE has negotiated the sale of a 25,216-square-foot commercial property located at 222 E. 5th St. in Tucson, Ariz. The building, which sits on a 36,950-square-foot parcel, commanded a sale price of $1.5 million.
Buzz Isaacson with CBRE’s Tucson office represented the buyer, Tucson-based Michael R. Wattis, Inc. The seller, 222 Storage LLC of Tucson, was represented by Peach Properties.
