601 Eighth Avenue is the site of two low-rise buildings between 39th and 40th streets that house tiny storefronts, as well as a Chase Bank branch, a Jamaican take-out food outlet Golden Krust, and a Payless shoe store. The Port Authority Bus Terminal is across the street. Ashkenazy Acquisition, a New York City-based firm that invests in retail and office real estate, bought the two properties, 601-607 Eighth Avenue and 609-611 Eighth Avenue, for $40 million from Centurion Realty in October 2014. 601 Eight Avenue features as a 30,125 square foot retail condominium in the portfolio section of the Ashkenazy Acquisition website. The leasehold on the bigger building has 24 years remaining. The building at 601-607 Eighth Avenue is a leasehold, while the other one is a fee interest. Centurion acquired 601-607 Eighth Avenue for $2.5 million in 1997 and 609-611 Eighth Avenue $5 million in 2003. MK
