Erik Yankelovich, a senior director of GFI Realty, represented both the buyer and the seller. The sale price equates to $311,900 per unit.

“The buyer recognized the tremendous value in this pre-war asset with its strong location and unusually large apartments,” said Yankelovich. “In recent years, the seller added value to the building by investing in numerous capital improvements, including renovations to several units.

“The buyer intends to hold onto the property for the long term and will continue to invest in the property’s improvements,” said Berg.
