With competing offers being submitted on a daily basis the deal ended up trading at a 3.1% cap rate.

“Several competitive offers were entertained and in the end the owner sold it to someone he believed would pay his price, but more importantly show the kind of appreciation he has had over the last 30 years” said Raff.

Mavashev added, “With one call, the buyer immediately recognized this great opportunity to purchase an East Village building with plenty of unrealized potential.”
