The property, originally developed as a condominium, is now operating as a luxury residential building, according to a release from Besen. A 15-year 421-a tax abatement is in place, along with a 25-year ICIP tax abatement. The property is located next door to Jamaica Estates and St. John’s University, and is near the Jamaica AirTrain station.

The sale comes two months after city officials announced a $225 million project for the corner of Jamaica’s Sutphin Boulevard and Archer Avenue — Downtown Jamaica’s largest infusion of private investment in decades. — Julie Strickland
