1.) Irving Langer’s E&M Associates sold a 55-unit rental building at 148 West 142nd Street for $16.5 million less than two years after buying it for $10.6 million. Investor Shaul Kopelowitz, who owns a handful of multifamily buildings throughout Inwood, Washington Heights and Harlem, is the buyer. The six-story elevator building consists of 54 rent-stabilized apartments across 57,112 square feet. E&M has been selling off a number of Upper Manhattan properties, including a 47-building East Harlem portfolio which is expected to fetch more than $350 million.

2.) Investor Jon Rosenblatt bought an abandoned condominium project at 275 South 1st Street in Williamsburg for $16.3 million. According to property records from the Attorney General’s office, developers Yidel and Toby Hirsch submitted plans for the 25-unit residential condo in 2006, which had a projected sellout of $13.3 million. However, those plans were later abandoned in late 2015.
