New York, NY The CPEX Real Estate retail investment sales team has sold three retail properties totaling $6.45 million. CPEX retail sales team, consisting of managing director Andre Sigourney and associates Harrison Balisky and Dimitri Venekas, represented the owner in the sale of all three retail buildings, including 3482-3492 Nostrand Ave. and 1005 Flatbush Ave. in Brooklyn, and 231 Beach 116th St. in Queens.
“Our specialization in retail sales and resultant marketing strategies allow us to find the right buyer and achieve the maximum price for our clients, even as the market has pulled back compared to recent years,” said Sigourney. “Through our marketing process, we found a variety of buyers for these transactions, including an end-user, 1031 exchange, and buyers searching for a pure investment property. With activity in the retail sales market starting to pick up again and motivated sellers offering more realistic cap rates, we have seen a greater number and variety of buyers at the table.”

What noteworthy transactions or deals from this year best exemplified key market trends or shifts? I would like to say there was an outstanding transaction for me this past year but 2024 was more a culmination of long-term relationships, most of which continued to transact. Deals were smaller in many cases but we saw robust leasing both on the agency side as well as on the tenant side.
