Modell of Ariel and Hornstock of ABS Partners handle $5.75 million sale

Randy Modell, vice president of Ariel Property Advisors, and Steven Hornstock, a partner with ABS Partners Real Estate, have brokered the sale of a development site at 3019 Northern Blvd. in Long Island City for $5.75 million. The transaction originated when Modell was with ABS Ptrs. Modell and Hornstock represented the seller, a private owner who previously ran a medallion (yellow) taxicab business from the site, and the buyer, Storage Deluxe, which operates self-storage facilities in Brooklyn and Queens. Zoning for the site will allow Storage Deluxe to construct a self-storage facility with 120,000 buildable s/f. "The site's close proximity to the Upper East Side via the 59th St. Bridge makes it a ideal location for a self-storage facility," Modell said.

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
