Donovan and Pruess of Massey Knakal handle $1.025 million sale

A mixed-use building at 1689 Putnam Ave. (55-45 Myrtle Ave.) in the Ridgewood neighborhood, was sold in an all-cash transaction valued at $1.025 million. The three-story, all brick building contains 4,400 s/f and sits on a 20' x 100' lot.

The death of the generic offering memorandum: What buyers expect in 2025 - by Kimberly Zar Bloorian

There was a time when an offering memorandum (OM) was pretty bare bones, some photos, a few bullet points on income, and a rent roll thrown in at the back. That used to get the job done. Not anymore. In 2025, buyers are sharper, faster, and more selective. They’re looking
