Preuss of Cushman & Wakefield retained to sell three Queens properties

Queens, NY Cushman & Wakefield has been retained on an exclusive basis to arrange the sale of three properties.

“These listings offer an exceptional opportunity to invest in easily accessible Queens properties,” said Stephen R. Preuss of Cushman & Wakefield. “Each property benefits from exceptional visibility with significant frontage and is along highly trafficked corridors near public transportation options.”

The individual properties stretch across Queens’s top performing submarkets and a diverse range of asset classes.

After the subdivision, the subject property has all remaining air rights transferred from the original lot which equates to approximately 167,020 buildable square feet, all as of right. The asking price is $22 million.

Additionally, the team is marketing 120-20 Merrick Blvd. in Jamaica. The property is a 5,400 s/f, fully-leased shopping center with a large parking lot in front of the building. The building is located at the busy traffic light intersection of Merrick & Baisley Boulevard with 280’ of linear footage. The property is anchored by a restaurant which has the largest space in the building. The tenants cover all their own utilities, as well as common area maintenance. The asking price is $4.2 million with a 5.22% cap rate.

14-35 Broadway in Astoria, an approximately 3,405 s/f vacant lot set for multifamly development, rounds out the Queens properties set to hit the market .
