Woodland County Apartments - Kingston, NY

Kingston, NY The Oak & Avery Group completed the sale of Woodland County Apartments, a 46-unit multifamily complex. Anthony Watkins, president, and David Algarin, vice president, represented both the sellers, Woodland Commons LLC, and the buyers, Ari Goldstein & Evan Weber, in the $5.8 million transaction, while Abie Kreitenberg of Mansfield Equities procured the debt.

“Having been under long-term ownership, the property presented significant upside to the next owner. There was a lot of competition for this asset, mostly amongst NYC-based bidders. This sale is indicative of the strong demand for multifamily product in the Hudson Valley,” according to Watkins and Algarin.
