Here are the details on New York’s investment deals that traded within the $20 million to $30 million range, according to property records filed last week with the city’s Department of Finance.

1.) The Radha Soami Society Beas-America parted with 11-40 45th Road in Long Island City — a two-story commercial building — for just over $26 million. The site, which has an alternate address of 11-36 46th Avenue, is a study center for the spiritual organization.

The property is zoned for residential and can be developed into as much as 124,200 square feet under inclusionary housing, which would bring the purchase price to roughly $210 per buildable square foot.
