Massey Knakal Realty Services broker James Nelson is handling marketing and sales. Given the buildings’ proximity to the Ace and NoMad hotels, Nelson is marketing them as possible hotel projects and/or as two towers. Demolition is prohibited, given that the assemblage is adjacent to a low-rise apartment building with rent-stabilized units, Crain’s said.

“There have been recent sales where hoteliers are beating out residential developers,” Nelson told Crain’s. [Crain’s]Mark Maurer
