A 1031 tax exchange leads this week’s roundup of suburban New York real estate news.

Tax shelter triggers $22M deal

Reynolds Asset Management sold a new five-story building in Bound Brook, New Jersey, for $22 million. The deal was made with an undisclosed buyer looking for a 1031 exchange.

Mosaic on Main includes 63 residential units and a 1,600-square-foot retail space. The Somerset County property’s amenities include a fitness center. The Kislak Company brokered the sale.

A 1031 exchange allows real estate investors to defer paying taxes on the capital gain from an asset sale by investing it in a similar property. Fears that the Biden administration would end the policy have vanished.

The former headquarters of the Rockville Centre Roman Catholic Diocese is being converted into a 60,000-square-foot office building, Patch reported. Philips International Holding is receiving economic incentives from the Hempstead IDA for the project, at 50 North Park Avenue.
