No two properties traded in mid-market investment sales were alike last week, from a Section-8 multifamily building in the Bronx to college dorms that will convert to luxury condos in Greenwich Village.
A ground lease deal is under way at a residential development in Red Hook, and funds from a 1031 exchange helped an industrial property sell quickly in East New York.
Five properties changed hands last week in the $10 million to $30 million range for a total of $95 million, more than the previous week’s total of $68 million. Two properties sold in Brooklyn. Manhattan, Queens and the Bronx each saw one sale.
