An Aiken office building occupied by UPS has been sold.

Marcus & Millichap a commercial real estate brokerage firm specializing in investment sales, financing, research and advisory services, has sold 2031 S. Centennial Ave., a single-tenant office property located in Aiken, for $4.25 million.

“This is a mission critical location for UPS, making this a great opportunity for the buyer. Our seller was moving towards retirement hence the motivation to sell,” said Ani Paulson, vice president of investments, in the release. “Because of the challenging traditional lending market, our seller agreed to a seller-financing structure, which enabled us to take this deal to the finish line smoothly and efficiently. We have closed numerous properties with such structures and plan to continue until the debt markets fully stabilize.”

The property totals 51,250 square feet and is situated on 4.49 acres, according to the release. The property has been occupied by UPS Supply Chain Solutions, Inc. for 20-plus years. The tenant is on a corporate NN lease with approximately three years of the term remaining.

Located in a high-growth submarket of Augusta, the office is positioned in Centennial Park with other corporate tenants including Dominion Energy and Ahh Sunshine, the release stated. The immediate surrounding area features numerous national retailers including Walmart, Home Depot, Kroger and Staples.
