"The buildings' new owners are committed to restoring the Towers to their prominent position within the marketplace through capital improvements."

They are conveniently located near Long Island Expressway Exits 53 and 55. "The prominent location of 330 and 350 makes them great assets, which can now be offered at tremendous value to tenants given our basis in the property," said Brad Gillman, managing partner at Capstone. For KABR, the two buildings fit well in the portfolio's model of restructuring properties to create great values that can be passed on to tenants. "We were able to acquire these fine commercial office buildings at the right time for the right price," said Kenneth Pasternak, chairman of KABR. Each tower is 72,000 s/f and four stories.
