The total package sold for 8.5 times the gross rent or $121,000 per unit.
The building is located in the North Island section of Staten Island. With close distance to the Verrazano Bridge, the Staten Island Ferry, and the ferris wheel project. The area is drawing renters from Brooklyn that are being priced out of that market.
"This area has recently seen an increase in the rents that these types of buildings can command. The buyer quickly realized the opportunity for steady income, as well as future upside," said Fridman.
