“Along with ownership, we were very pleased with the sale price,” said Corbin. “At almost $500 per ft. and $400,000 per unit we achieved a significant premium to market.”

The property is located mid-block on the north side of Robinson St. between Cherry Ave. and 45th Ave. and is well served by public transportation: Flushing-Main St. 7 subway stop and Flushing LIRR Station are in close proximity.
