Ross and Hakimian of Highcap sell 137 MacDonough Street for $2.1 million; four-story walk-up with eight three-bedroom apartments
Highcap Group arranged the first sale in over 20 years of 137 MacDonough St. in the Bedford-Stuyvesant section of the borough. Laurence Ross, a managing principal and Daniel Hakimian, an investment sales associate, arranged the transaction, which sold for $2.1 million. Located on between Tompkins and Throop Aves., the property is a four-story walk-up with eight large three-bedroom railroad-style apartments.
Ross said, "With a below market average rent of $985 per month, this opportunity presented tremendous upside to the purchaser with rents projected north of $3,000." The turn of the century property is located in the Stuyvesant Heights section, well located near the A and C train lines. Hakimian said, "This is a vibrant neighborhood with a cool vibe and strong sense of community where every day brings a new hip bar-lounge, café or boutique shop."

The death of the generic offering memorandum: What buyers expect in 2025 - by Kimberly Zar Bloorian
There was a time when an offering memorandum (OM) was pretty bare bones, some photos, a few bullet points on income, and a rent roll thrown in at the back. That used to get the job done. Not anymore. In 2025, buyers are sharper, faster, and more selective. They’re looking
