The Ilibassi family’s Viking Management just bought a five-story rental building in Ridgewood from Charles Dayan’s Bonjour Capital for $21 million.

Bonjour owned the 45,800-square-foot former knitting mill at 71-13 60th Lane since 2012, the same year that leasing launched for the 50 apartments there. Eastern Consolidated’s Lipa Lieberman, who represented both sides, declined to comment.

There are 30 two-bedrooms, 12 one-bedrooms and eight three-bedrooms at the property, with prices ranging from $1,980 to $3,565 per month.

Bonjour, which paid $8.6 million in 2012, listed the building for $22 million in November. The firm’s projects include a new 18-story Tribeca apartment building, which it bought out of foreclosure.
