    A Colliers team led by Vice Chair James Elcock and Vice President John Real represented the sellers, the Archdiocese of Boston, in the transaction.

"We're proud to have worked with the community and alumni to ensure a smooth transition," said James Elcock. "This campus will continue to make a positive impact on the Cambridge community."

    Benjamin Banneker Charter Public School, founded in 2012, serves students from Kindergarten through 8th grade.
