The mixed-use, walk-up buildings are recently renovated and well-maintained. Located on the southwest corner of Second Avenue and 112th Street, the properties are 100-percent occupied by three retail stores and 38 apartments, 28 rent stabilized and 10 market rate. Nearly all of the apartments have been renovated. The buildings encompass more than 35,900 s/f and offer an additional 24,845 s/f of unused and intact air rights for future development. A large, rear courtyard behind the buildings is utilized as outdoor space by the buildings' tenants. "This is a unique opportunity for an investor to own a corner on Second Avenue in East Harlem," said Adelaide Polsinelli, senior director at eastern consolidated who along with principal and senior director Ronda Rogovin, and associate director Jamie Rogovin represents the seller exclusively. "The portfolio is well-maintained and requires no investment on the part of the buyer, so the buildings can be left in place or, collectively, they encompass more than 60,000 s/f of an exciting redevelopment opportunity." Rogovin said "This is a rare opportunity to capture 100 s/f of frontage on Second Avenue in this bustling neighborhood, which already has built-in foot traffic. In addition, the development opportunity to add nearly 25,000 s/f of space makes this property portfolio a great purchase for investors."
