“The sales price speaks to the supply and demand disparity northern Brooklyn is currently experiencing. Owner/users continue to compete with developers and retailers on the same assets. Those who need to be in close proximity to Manhattan and the outer boroughs need to pay a premium in order to operate their businesses,” said McGuckin.

•7201 3^rd Ave.: The 7,520 s/f mixed-use property sold for $2.6 million. John Brennan and Mark Zarrella from Marcus & Millichap’s local office, had the exclusive listing to market the property on behalf of the seller, a private investor.

“Corner locations surrounded by national brands always sell at a premium. Our buyer was willing to go in at roughly a 4.5% yield because he saw the upside potential in both the retail as well as the oversized one and two bedroom units,” said Zarrella.
