“This transaction signifies a consistent investment trend,” says Kahn. “Even with interest rates climbing, buyers in the New York City market are still willing to pay a premium for buildings with a story. In this specific instance, the property was 100 percent rent stabilized, had extremely low rents of $1,200 per month, and was owned by the same family for over 60 years.”
“Le Vian Properties plans to upgrade the common areas, renovate apartments as they become vacant, and hold the property long term.” adds Kahn.
