1.) Real estate investment firm HUBB NYC purchased a 10-unit mixed-use building at 121 Chambers Street for $16.2 million, rounding out its Manhattan portfolio to 30 properties. The Tribeca building is five stories spanning 18,500 square feet. It includes four apartments — two of which are rent-stabilized — and six retail units on the ground floor. The Ackerman family has owned the property since 1968.

2.) A group of four investors, including Heritage Realty’s Michael Aryeh, picked up a rental building in Washington Heights from Newcastle Realty Services for $15.6 million. The building, located at  220 Wadsworth Avenue, holds 52 apartments and six retail units. More than half of the building’s apartments are rent-stabilized. The six-story building last traded hands in 2010 for $5.4 million. In April, Aryeh purchased another building in the neighborhood from Newcastle for $16.8 million.

3.) Brooklyn-based investor Shaul Kopelowitz acquired a pair of multifamily buildings in Crown Heights for $15 million from Hudson Companies. The deal includes a Section 8 building at 1692 Union Street, dubbed Union Gardens, and an adjacent building at 1706 Union Street. Combined, the four-story buildings hold 67 apartments and total 60,455 square feet. Kopelowitz’s recent purchases include a rental building at 148 West 142nd Street, which he bought last month for $16.5 million and a rent-regulated building at 24 Arden Street in Inwood, which he purchased in April for $12.1 million.

At 13 Christopher Street there are two retail units on the cellar levels and apartments on the second and third floors, as well as the carriage house.
