In the world of mid-market New York City investment sales last week, Treetop Development sold three Hamilton Heights rentals for $14 million and Crown Acquisitions bought a five-story walk-up in Washington Heights.

1.) Castellan Real Estate Partners picked up a five-story mixed-use building in Tribeca for $10.75 million. The six-unit building at 90 Chambers Street includes five residential units, including three full-floor units, and a ground-floor retail space currently leased to Japanese restaurant Kaede. The seller, Tissa Managment, bought the building for $8.5 million in 2014. The 8,850-square-foot property comes with 5,230 square feet of air rights.

2.) Also in Tribeca, KLM Equities bought two retail units at 415 Greenwich Street from Ashkenazy Acquisition Corporation for $11.5 million. The two units are on the ground-floor of the eight-story condominium building and are leased to Juice Press and FlyWheel through 2023. The combined square footage for the two units is 4,971 and combined NOI was $416,000 in 2016.

3.) Joseph and Vanessa Gad, a jeweler and realtor, picked up two commercial units at Park Avenue Court in Carnegie Hill for $10.2 million. The two units at 120 East 187th Street were embroiled in a lawsuit over a $37 million judgement issued by a Moscow court. The St. Petersburg-based VTB Bank had sued the seller, Igor Mavlyanov, in an effort to claim his New York assets to satisfy the judgment. The units span a combined 2,653 square feet.
