UPDATED, Jan. 10, 2023, 11:15 a.m.: The calendar flipped to 2023 last week, but one thing remained consistent: Multifamily assets continued to drive the city’s investment sales market.
Five transactions involving commercial properties valued between $10 million and $40 million hit city records last week, four of which involved apartment buildings. Two deals each were in Manhattan and the Bronx, but the largest one was in Brooklyn.
Below is more information on each transaction, ranked by dollar amount:
1. A pair of LLCs registered to the same Brooklyn address paid $36.6 million for a 75 percent stake in a newly constructed apartment building at 494 Manhattan Avenue in Greenpoint and a 49 percent stake in another at 1-7 Withers Street in Williamsburg from entities connected to developer Joel Schwartz. David Kramer signed for the buyer on both deals.
The six-story Greenpoint property was built in 2021 and has 23 units across 20,000 square feet. At the Williamsburg property, permits were filed in 2020 for a seven-floor apartment building with 23 units spanning close to 16,000 square feet, New York Yimby reported.
2. An entity connected to Meyer Equities bought an office building at 260 West 36th Street in the Garment District for $33 million from an entity tied to Quartz Realty. Built in 1907, the 10-floor property spans more than 81,000 square feet. It was last sold in 2017 for an undisclosed amount.
