It’s unknown how much Yale-Steam paid for the apartments, but this sale brought in roughly $43,367 per unit.

The buyer is YMP Center Court LLC, controlled by Moshe and Joseph Popack. The two are real estate investors who mainly focus on multifamily properties like this one. Dan Arev, another investor who worked with Moshe Popack on a deal in March, said Popack owns more than 3,000 apartments along the East Coast.

The Popacks financed their deal with a $21 million loan from Mercantil Commercebank. Mortgage documents say their loan matures in October 2022.
