Garcia said, “The purchaser is a local investor who was attracted to this asset because it was a natural geographic fit for their portfolio and it offers long-term stabilized value.  We were able to structure a deal with several units delivered vacant at closing, to capitalize on immediate rental growth through renovations and reconfiguring certain layouts.”

The sales price equates to $750 per s/f and an initial capitalization rate at 3.1%.

The property was owned by the same family for the past 40 years.  The sale price reflected the continued high demand for these types of assets in the area. 

“Investors with the foresight to realize the L train shutdown should only have minimal short-term effect on rental rates have continued to foster demand in the area,” said Garcia.
