Long Island investor Hornig Capital Partners is in contract to buy a development site next to the former Rheingold Beer brewery in Bushwick, blocking a rival bid by Princeton Holdings.
If the deal goes through, Horning would pay $36 million for the site at 95 Evergreen Avenue, sources told Crain’s. Princeton Holdings had been in negotiations to buy the property for $2 million less, according to previous reports.
Joe Berko, president of Berko & Associates, represented both sides of the transaction.
Hornig Capital Partners is hoping to have the 135,000-square-foot warehouse building on the parcel rezoned to allow for residential development, sources told the website. Read Property scored rezoning approval for the former Rheingold facility in December. [Crain’s] – Tom DiChristopher
