Bronx Section 8 housing, West Village dorm top mid-market sales

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.

Below are more details for i-sales in the third week of September:

1. Wavecrest Equities, a subsidiary of Wavecrest Management, bought a 97-unit low-income apartment building at 1018 East 163rd Street in Woodstock, Bronx, for $24 million. The seller was Lewis Henkind.

2. Slate Property Group picked up a 34,000-square-foot college dormitory building at 118 West 13th Street in Greenwich Village for $23 million. The seller was the New School. Slate is partnering with Avenue Realty Capital to convert the building into luxury condominiums.
