In the world of mid-market New York City investment sales last week, A&E Real Estate Holdings sold an East Harlem rental building for $15 million and Marcal Group sold a Prospect-Lefferts Gardens property for $20 million.
1.) A West Village walk-up changed hands for $12.75 million. Louise Pfister sold the 12-unit rental building at 601 Hudson Street to an LLC controlled by Abraham Sanieoff. Pfister had filed a condo offering for the 9,555-square-foot property, which has an alternate address of 18 Abingdon Square, but never followed through with the conversion. Sanieoff bought another West Village rental at 25 Grove Street in 2015. Kevin Esh, Sean Lefkovits and John Florek of HPNY represented both the buyer and seller.

The previous owners had initially planned to build a 26-unit condo building but switched to middle-income affordable housing after the project stalled during the recession, and leasing opened building in 2013. Apartments rent for an average of $38 per square foot, according to StreetEasy.
