Peter Carillo, principal and senior managing director at HKS Real Estate Advisors, and Ben Tapper, senior managing director at Lee & Associates, represented the seller and procured the buyer.

Carillo shared his thoughts on the transaction, “Now is the ideal moment for acquiring property in sought-after locations, given the robust fundamentals of the condominium market and the limited number of new condo construction filings. This transaction situates the developer in a prime position to introduce their project in a 2026 market that will be characterized by a scarcity of new supply.”

“The planned luxury condominiums will cater to the growing demand for high-end residential options in this desirable and culturally rich area of Manhattan. With easy access to world-class entertainment, dining, and shopping, the development is expected to attract a sophisticated clientele seeking an exceptional urban living experience,” said Tapper.

The transaction closed on April 18, 2023.
