INVESTMENT SALES IN MANHATTAN AND BROOKLYN
Manhattan investment sales dipped dramatically in November, totaling just under $1.5 billion, less than half of October’s total. The top sale was of the office tower at 425 Lexington Avenue, which Vanbarton Group bought from JPMorgan Chase for $701 million in the month’s only deal worth more than $100 million. Brooklyn had a similarly slow November, with just $444 million in sales recorded, a 37 percent decline from October. The largest deal in the borough was Jonathan Rose Companies’ acquisition of an affordable housing complex at 9000 Shore Road in Bay Ridge, which NYU Langone sold for $149 million. No other property in the borough changed hands for more than $20 million in November.

INVESTMENT SALES IN QUEENS AND THE BRONX
For the second consecutive month, Queens investment sales were pushed to historic highs by one blockbuster deal. Blackstone Group’s $475 million buy of the Parker Towers housing complex in Forest Hills accounted for nearly 70 percent of the borough’s investment sales volume, which totaled $679 million. The Bronx, on the other hand, fell to a new low in November, with a total of less than $100 million in recorded sales — with no single property selling for more than $10 million. The big story in the borough was a 14-property portfolio sale from MGS Associates to a trio of individual investors, which included nine Bronx and five Manhattan apartment buildings.
