Manhattan, NY ABS has brokered the sale of a $1.1 million retail condo in Harlem. The sale of the 1,326 s/f space, which is leased by Harlem Coffee Company, points to the heightened interest in the real estate market in Harlem, especially among local restaurants and cafés.
The space at 151 Lenox Ave., which sits between West 117th and 118th Sts., is comprised of 976 s/f on the ground floor and 350 s/f on the lower level. The storefront was leased by Harlem Coffee Company and will serve as the brand’s flagship retail location when it opens early this year. Mark Tergesen of ABS Partners Real Estate represented the seller in the transaction, 151 Lenox, LLC. The buyer of the retail condo was 151 Malcom X LLC., a local investor.
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.
