“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.
