Bridgeton Holdings, a NoMad-based investment firm, bought the buildings for $20.6 million in 2013, records show.
“This was the only income-producing multifamily asset that they owned in New York,” said Marcus & Millichap’s Joseph Koicim, who brokered the deal alongside Peter Von Der Ahe and David Lloyd.
Both the buyer and seller were executing 1031 exchanges.
A spokesperson for Bridgeton was not immediately available for comment. The company recently snagged the Jade Hotel at 52 West 13th Street for $78 million from Gemini Real Estate Advisors, which was auctioning it off amid a dispute among its principals.
The Bolanos family declined to comment.
