With no single deal above $30 million, the middle of the investment sales market saw a modest $128.2 million in real estate change hands last week.

Porcelain tile maker Florim met its customers more than half-way last week, buying a commercial condo unit in a luxury apartment building in NoMad,  while ASB Real Estate Investments sold two properties in Williamsburg for a combined $45 million.

Also, a site where an 84-unit apartment building is planned sold in Gowanus for $21.6 million.

Manhattan had four of the mid-market sales and Brooklyn the other three. Below are more details for deals recorded in the second week of March.
