According Marc Watkins, executive vice president of DelShah Capital, LLC, the Queens Borough Public Library has bought the seven street-level commercial spaces, totaling over 10,000 s/f, at 31-32 Union St. for $3.5 million. DelShah purchased the senior mortgage for the building in 2009, and then worked through a complex foreclosure litigation against five different junior creditors and the previous owner.
"We are excited that such a veritable institution was attracted to this building," said Watkins, "We are extremely confident that the library's plans will be an asset to the neighborhood."
31-32 Union St., known as Sunrise Terrace, has 32 residential units.
After taking title to the seven commercial and 17 unsold residential units in September 2011, DelShah and its affiliate Distinct New York, rebranded and repositioned the property. In addition to the sale of the seven commercial spaces, five of the residential units are already under contract.
The 12 remaining premier condominiums are priced from $229,000 to $899,000. All have outdoor spaces with two or three bedrooms and range in size from 1,000 s/f to 1,400 s/f.
