Ariel Property Advisors has sold a 7,492 s/f Central Harlem retail property leased by Citibank for $3.4 million. Exclusive agents Victor Sozio, Shimon Shkury, and Michael Tortorici handled the sale for a private owner. The property was sold to a private investment group that operates multiple retail locations throughout the country. Ariel also represented the buyer. Citibank occupies the 50-foot wide, one-story commercial building at 2481 Adam Clayton Powell Blvd. on a triple net lease basis with a rent of $15,000 per month. The bank opted this year to extend its lease and has two additional five-year options to extend in 2017 and 2022. "Investors are attracted to the trouble-free management requirements and ease of collections that triple net lease opportunities with credit worthy tenants offer," said Sozio, vice president of Ariel. "Once Citibank exercised its five-year extension option in April, we had multiple bids above the asking price within a week." "The site also benefits from 30,052 buildable s/f as-of right, providing the buyer with a tremendous mixed-use development opportunity in the future," Sozio said. Located on the northeast corner of West 144th St. and Adam Clayton Powell Blvd. in a rapidly developing area of Northern Manhattan, the building is steps away from recent residential developments such as One Strivers Row, The Ellison Condos, Beacon Towers, and the PS90 Condos.
