Ross Kaplan, a senior managing director at Newmark Grubb Knight Frank and broker for the tenant, noted that the “expanding residential and developing area” attracted CVS to the unit.

Mr. Kaplan was joined by executive managing director Jason Pruger and director Trever Gallina in representing the tenant in the transaction. The landlord, Equity Residential (EQR), was represented by Paul Berkman and Craig Slosberg, who served at Newmark Grubb Knight Frank at the time but have since departed the firm. The asking rent was $200 per square foot.
