PUTNAM — Plans have not been solidified yet, but Sean and Michael Putnam, LLC, intends to give all their customers as many local options as possible at the Toyota dealership now slated for 88 Providence Pike.
This is the second sale in three months of the 12-acre parcel on Rt. 44, just east of the Putnam Parkade.
The sale of a parcel of land along East Putnam’s budding “commerce row” was recently filed at Town Hall, twice.
The former Cormier property was sold to Breault Realty III, LLC, for $535,000 in November.
Feb. 22 Breault Realty III, LLC sold the property to Sean and Michael Putnam, LLC, for $1.335 million, according to town clerk records.
Roger Breault signed for Breault Realty III, LLC.
The agent listed for Sean and Michael Putnam, LLC, of Norwell, Mass., is Robert McGee.
Under various companies that group owns 17 dealerships.
The parcel contains a small yellow house, a field adjacent to the house along Rt. 44 and a large undeveloped area directly behind the house and field. The open acreage in the back runs all the way behind the store buildings on the eastern end of the Putnam Parkade.
Directly across from the property are Tractor Supply and a liquor store. Retail stores, a pharmacy, fast food restaurants, banks, and more fill in Rt. 44 on both sides heading west toward I-395.
East of Tractor Supply are car dealerships and a restaurant.
