Invictus Property Advisors and Stav Equities complete sale of 6,735 s/f vacant lot for $9.04 million

Brooklyn, NY 28 Herbert St, a prime development site sold for $9.04 million. The 6,735 s/f vacant corner lot was purchased with approved plans in place and recently demolished by ownership, saving the buyer time and money in the development process. Another benefit of the land deal was having the 421A tax abatement grandfathered in as there’s a large demand and low supply of tax abatement development opportunities. The 421A abatement expired June 15th, 2022 making it more difficult for developers to pencil out rental projects without the tax incentive especially given the rise in construction costs. 

Plans have been approved for 31,600 s/f of above grade space in addition to a 6,000 s/f lower level. The residential portion consists of 15 apartments and 1 ground floor retail unit yielding 20,800 s/f. The cellar is designed having a car lift that takes you directly to the parking garage, accommodating 9 parking spots. Amenities include a second floor gym, kids playroom and a common roof deck. The building will be a certified carbon neutral project to the international ISO 14067 standard. This will be the first Certified Carbon Neutral Project in all of New York. MAO architects have been commissioned to design the building. 

Andrew Levine, Josh Lipton & Jax Hindmarch of Invictus Property Advisors procured the buyer while Jacob Stavsky of Stav Equities represented the seller in this off-market transaction.

The death of the generic offering memorandum: What buyers expect in 2025 - by Kimberly Zar Bloorian

There was a time when an offering memorandum (OM) was pretty bare bones, some photos, a few bullet points on income, and a rent roll thrown in at the back. That used to get the job done. Not anymore. In 2025, buyers are sharper, faster, and more selective. They’re looking
