"We have seen a tremendous increase in demand from investors for multifamily assets in Central Brooklyn neighborhoods like Prospect Park South and Flatbush. The fact that 2201 Cortelyou Rd. and 219 E. 17th St. sold for a 5.5% CAP rate demonstrates this increased demand as well as the growth of these neighborhoods," said Hess, who specializes in the sale of mixed use and multifamily investment assets in Brooklyn.
