Brooklyn, NY The New York office for Hodges Ward Elliott (HWE) arranged the $67.25 million sale of The Chocolate Factory Lofts, a 125-unit multifamily building and converted factory located at 275 Park Ave.
An HWE team comprised of Daniel Parker, managing director, Paul Gillen, managing director and Kyle van Buitenen, vice president, exclusively represented the seller, Brickman and HK Organization in the sale of the property. In addition to being sole sales broker, HWE’s debt capital markets team, led by Lawrence Britvan, managing director, also arranged the acquisition financing for the purchaser.
The pre-war property was converted to residential lofts in 2002 and spans 184,411 s/f with 123 apartments in addition to retail (23,600 s/f) and a parking garage (96 spots). Apartment units feature 12-ft. ceilings, exposed brick and hardwood floors and amenities include a common roof deck, health club, doorman and central laundry. The property is also the only doorman building within walking distance of the Brooklyn Navy Yard and the new Wegmans flagship location.
