Despite a flurry of nine-figure blockbusters across multiple asset classes, middle-market deals for investment properties slowed to a trickle in New York City last week, with just four sales fetching a total of $85.9 million.

Josh Gotlib’s Black Spruce Management picked up a multifamily building in Manhattan Valley — a slightly less splashy follow-up to its $850 million deal for the American Copper buildings — while affordable housing developer L+M picked up an apartment building in East Harlem.

Mid-market investors were far busier in the first week of December, dropping a collective $259 million across 14 deals. Last week, Manhattan saw three sales while Brooklyn had one.

In past years, deal volume has accelerated just before the calendar turns over, with many sales showing up in property records in the first few weeks of the new year.

Below are more details of investment sales in the $10 million to $40 million range that were recorded during the second week of December:
