The Abrams Group Sells Lawrence Office Building

BOSTON, March 7 /PRNewswire/ — The Abrams Group, A Boston-based real estate development and investment firm, has sold 170 Common St. in Lawrence to Heritage Park Management for $1.05 million.

The three-story, brick building, within walking distance of the compact, industrially planned downtown, is home to several legal, high-tech and financial companies in addition to Cafe Azteca, an authentic Mexican restaurant, on the ground floor.
