Levine, Lipton, and Hindmarch of Invictus Property represented the buyer of 28 Herbert St.

28 Herbert Street - Brooklyn, NY (rendering)

Brooklyn, NY 28 Herbert St., a prime development site in Williamsburg, sold for $9.04 million. 

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

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 in 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 one ground floor retail unit yielding 20,800 s/f. The cellar is designed having a car lift that takes you to the parking garage, accommodating nine 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 one of the first Certified Carbon Neutral projects in the state. MAO architects have been commissioned to design the building.

Tri-state capital migrates nationally amid regulation pressure - by Reese Weaver

New York tri-state multifamily investors are increasingly reallocating capital to less-regulated markets across the U.S. as rent control and legislative risk erode returns at home. With over 60% of New York City’s rental housing stock classified as rent-stabilized, the traditional value-add model — buying under-performing buildings,

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
