It contains 14,375 s/f. The property is equipped with two drive in roll up drawers. It sold to a Queens developer with plans to level the warehouse to construct a new 60-room hotel.

Massey Knakal was the sole broker in the transaction. Massey Knakal has also sold a four-story, mixed-use building at 366 Myrtle Ave. in the Fort Green section of Brooklyn in an all-cash transaction valued at $1.1 million.
