Westbridge Realty Group closes $6.5m industrial site
Brooklyn, NY Westbridge Realty Group, a New York based investment sales firm, completed the sale of an industrial site in the Gowanus neighborhood for $6.5 million. The site, at 88 9th St., is a self-storage facility on an acre of land with 300 self-storage units.
The property consists of over 40,200 s/f and 300 storage units located on 9th St. between Smith St. and 2nd Ave. The $6.5 million purchase equated to $161 per s/f.
Westbridge Realty Group’s Alexandra Rossland and David Marciano represented the seller, Charles Devito of Chuck Realty Corp. and David Marciano represented the buyer, Insite Property Group, a California-based self-storage operator and manager who will continue to operate the self-storage business.
“After being exclusively retained to handle the sale, we identified an out of state buyer who was able to see the future value of self-storage,” said Rossland.
“In a very uncertain real estate market and an uncertain time in the world, the buyer, who owns other self-storage properties in the area, realized that the property was not utilized to its full potential and has a long term outlook,” said Marciano.
