“The buyer immediately recognized the value of this fully leased gut renovated asset,” said Fuchs.  “The property also benefits from its large apartment layouts as well as its central location near commercial corridors and mass transportation.”

“Despite some slowing in the real estate market, Brooklyn has led the way in 2020 real estate transactions. The seller recognized this and decided this was the time to sell,” said Landau.

The asset is in proximity to the Utica Ave. and Broadway commercial corridors, Fulton Park as well as the A, C, J & Z subway lines.
