Manhattan, NY Arbor Management Acquisition Company (AMAC), a Midtown-based real estate investment firm, has acquired 10 Rutgers St., a mixed-used property containing 83 residential units and seven retail spaces for $59 million in an off-market transaction. The property is located at the intersection of the Lower East Side and Two Bridges neighborhoods and totals 75,000 s/f. Hudson Companies, who developed the property in 1999, was the seller.

A $40.75 million mortgage was placed by Raymond James Bank.

The eight-story property features a unit mix of studios, one- and two-bedroom units. Amenities at the elevatored building include a doorman, gym, landscaped garden, and a bike room. AMAC plans to renovate the units, common areas, and amenities. 

“This transaction presented an attractive opportunity to acquire a corner mixed-use property in a rapidly changing neighborhood with fantastic subway access,” says Maurice Kaufman, a founding principal at AMAC. “Value-add investments in this submarket with this quality and scale are unique.”

10 Rutgers St. is adjacent to the East Broadway F Train station, which offers residents access to Midtown and Downtown Brooklyn. Seward Park, a 3.4-acre neighborhood park with basketball courts, volleyball courts, and playgrounds, is located across the street.
