277 Commercial St.

The former headquarters of the Malden Evening News and Medford Daily Mercury has been sold for $3 million to South Cove Community Health Center, a provider of Asian community health services.

The 16,450-square-foot office and industrial property on 1.2 acres at 277 Commercial St. in Malden will be converted into a state-of-the-art medical center, according to Malden-based brokerage Burgess Properties.

The daily newspapers ceased publication in February after 135 years, citing declining revenues.

In another recent transaction, North River LLC of New York acquired the Trombetta Electronics property at 197 Commercial St. for $4 million.

The 33,000-square-foot industrial building with 85 parking spaces on 2.1 acres is being marketed for lease by Burgess Properties.

Phillip K. Burgess and Steve Nohrden of Burgess Properties brokered both transactions.
