New York’s mid-market investment sales bounced back in a big way in the final week of 2020.

Four sales in the $10 million to $30 million range in Brooklyn, Manhattan and the Bronx combined for $81 million. That was far above the $58 million across five sales the week before. Mid-market sales in the city had been steady for several weeks prior, hovering at around $100 million.

Here are more details for the week ending Jan. 1, 2021:

1. ExxonMobil sold a 109,000-square-foot land parcel at 332 Monitor Street in Greenpoint for $30 million. In 2010, the oil and gas giant agreed to pay $25 million to clean up areas along Newton Creek, after widespread contamination from oil spills.
