A sprawling warehouse on Forge Parkway in Franklin has sold for $20 million in the latest major transaction of an industrial facility in town.

It's the second transaction involving 12 Forge Parkway in the span of only a few months. A limited liability corporation with the address of Chicago firm ShopCore Properties bought the site in September for $20 million.

Only two months later, the property was sold again, this time for $50,000 more. The 242,000-square-foot building was bought by a limited liability corporation registered to the address of AEW, a Boston investment firm. The latest sale closed Nov. 14.

In a sign of growing demand for warehouse space in places like along I-495, the building previously sold in 2015 for $15 million.

The sale is  the latest in a number of high-priced transactions in Franklin for industrial space.

Boston investment firm Marcus Partners bought an industrial facility at 210 Grove St. for $13.3 million and another at 176 Grove St. for $18.3 million. Both sales closed last fall.

Just over the town line in Bellingham, work has begun on a $30-million, 345,000-square-foot distribution facility at 160 Mechanic St.
