Sale of 48 S Main Street

The Town of Middleton is soliciting proposals for the sale of surplus real property located at 48 South Main Street, known as Memorial Hall. This open market sale is conducted on an as-is basis, meaning the town will make no improvements to the property. The award will be granted to the most advantageous proposal based on a 100-point scoring system across four evaluation categories. Interested proposers must submit a price proposal, a best-use narrative not exceeding four pages, and evidence of financial standing and experience, specifically including at least one vertical construction project within the last 15 years and experience with historic property rehabilitation in Massachusetts. Submissions are due by November 6, 2026, at 12:00 pm and must include one hard copy and one digital copy on a thumbdrive. A refundable deposit of 5 percent of the proposed purchase price is required at the time of submission via certified check or money order. If selected, the buyer must execute a Purchase and Sale Agreement within 30 days and provide an additional 15 percent deposit, bringing the total deposit to 20 percent. Proposals must remain firm for 120 days following the bid opening. Required documentation includes certificates of non-collusion, tax compliance, and corporate authority, with out-of-state corporations requiring a Massachusetts business license and a resident agent.
