The 281 Grand Street property, purchased by Flushing-based LLC Jacob Re earlier this year for $8.5 million, includes eight large loft-style apartments ranging between 12,000 and 16,000 square feet, according to the listing. Ground-level retail totaling 23,000 square feet is also on offer, and the property includes basement storage.

The building neighbors 283-285 Grand Street, which was demolished following a fire that ripped through the building. [Lo Down]Julie Strickland
