Manhattan, NY Emerald Equity Group has acquired the former “Dawnay, Day Portfolio” from Fairstead Capital and E+M Associates for $357.5 million.  The East Harlem and Manhattan portfolio is comprised of 47 buildings, totaling 712,571 s/f and 1,181 units.

A team led by Ariel Property Advisors’ Victor Sozio, Shimon Shkury and Michael Tortorici represented the sellers, Fairstead and E+M, and procured the buyer, Emerald Equity Group.
