Leary, Muessel, Kelly, Sendogdular and Dzbanek of CPEX broker $7.55 million

CPEX brokered the $7.55 million sale of an office building located at 1535 Richmond Ave. The two-story (three-level), 40,000 s/f class A elevator office building was originally NNN leased to SI Bank & Trust, which was later acquired by Sovereign Bank, currently a subsidiary of Banco Santander. Through a joint effort by the N.Y. office sales and N.Y. development and conversions sales teams, CPEX represented both the seller, a local developer, and buyer. CPEX's office sales team, consisting of managing partner Brian Leary and managing director David Muessel, in conjunction with the development and conversions sales team, consisting of managing director Sean Kelly, Esq., associate director Cengiz "Jay" Sendogdular and associate Matthew Dzbanek, represented the seller, the Sal Calcagno Family Trust. "The value that 1535 Richmond Ave. carries in the Staten Island community as one of the premier mid-range buildings was clearly shown in this transaction," said Muessel. "The new owners will now own and manage one of the finest properties in the area. More importantly, we feel this transaction helps validate that the overall economy is moving forward in a strong, positive way." Kelly said, "The building is in a highly visible location, sharing a party wall with Walgreen's and on the same block as Chili's, Applebee's, Northfield Bank Richmond County Savings Bank and a Stop and Shop anchored retail center. The 10314 zip code, which includes major retail corridors such as Richmond Ave., Victory Blvd., and Forest Ave., is more densely populated with national tenants than any other zip code in the five boroughs."
