In 2013, Chestnut bought the three-building Shalom Aleichem Houses in Van Cortlandt Village for $22 million. The firm also purchased a 11-building portfolio in the Highbridge section of the borough for around $46.8 million in 2011.

Chestnut is not the only one snatching up property in the borough. In December, the Related Companies, in partnership with New York City pension funds, acquired a 20-building Bronx portfolio for $112.5 million, The Real Deal reported. The purchase was the largest package to change hands in the borough last year.

Last year, A&E Real Estate purchased of a 441-unit complex in Riverdale for $89 million and an Asden Properties-led group acquired of 612 apartments for $90 million. [Crain’s] — Dusica Sue Malesevic
