Manhattan, NY Besen & Associates has completed the sale of two contiguous 3-story residential buildings including 316 and 318 East 81^st St. between First and Second Aves. on the Upper East Side. Acquisition of the two properties presents a rare redevelopment opportunity, with 30’ of frontage and a 102’ deep lot. The transaction was completed by Besen & Associates for $9.25 million. Jesse Cirolli-Quinones represented the buyer and Rolfe Haas represented the seller.

With a total of 12,232 buildable s/f, the purchaser of 316 and 318 East 81^st St. plans to develop the properties into luxury residential housing.

316 is a single-family, while 318 is a multifamily walk-up building containing seven units.  Each is built 15’ by 45’, on a 102’ lot.  The properties fall within R8B zoning with an FAR of 4.0, and they are presently under built.  The sale price of $9.25 million equates to $750 per buildable s/f.  The sale was in contract for almost a year, and the buildings were delivered vacant. Cirolli-Quinones said, “One of the key components of the deal was that the owner allowed the purchaser to close after they got all their permits and plans approved.”
