Investment sales in the city have returned to Earth after an end-of-year frenzy.

Ten New York City i-sales in the $10 million to $40 million range were recorded last week. Brooklyn led the way with eight sales, while Manhattan had two and the Bronx had one. Together the sales fetched $162 million, well below the $370 million that deals in that range gathered the week prior.

Here are more details.

1. Private equity firm Goodman Capital bought a 12,300-square-foot mansion at 51-53 East 73rd Street on the Upper East Side for $25 million. The Ender family sold the building as part of bankruptcy court proceedings. Rumors that a future royal “graced” the property remain unverified.

2. Turnbridge Equities bought adjacent industrial properties at 300 Dewitt Avenue and 897 Van Sinderen Avenue in Canarsie, Brooklyn, for a combined $22.5 million. The sellers were Simcha Holding Corp and Glen Real Estate Holdings, respectively. Turnbridge is marketing 80,000 square feet of warehouse and 92,000 square feet of parking to be ready by 2023.
