Sentinel Real Estate Corporation [TRDataCustom] sold a six-story Rental Building On West 125th Street in Manhattanville to two Jackson Heights-based investors for $23 million, according to property records filed with the city Monday.

The six-story building at 351 West 125th Street spans 45,945 square feet and has 38 residential units, as well as nearly 8,000 square feet of retail space, according to PropertyShark. Most of the units — a total of 26 — are rent-stabilized, according to the listing from Ariel Property Advisors.

The deed for the sale was signed by Brian Ritter, Sentinel’s managing director.

The buyers appear to be Edward Ostad and Pratik Shah, both based in Jackson Heights. Ostad, a urologist, and Shah signed as tenants-in-common for a $15 million mortgage issued by Signature Bank, according to property records also filed with the city last week. Sentinel paid $9.5 million for the property in the 2010.
