Top 10 NYC Multifamily Sales in June 2016

PropertyShark has compiled the data and we’ve got the priciest multifamily property deals recorded in New York City in June. Read on to find out how each borough performed:

 

1.

Sales Price: $139,600,000

Known as The Hamilton, this Yorkville tower with 265 residential units transferred last month in an uncharacteristic move by high profile developer Glenwood Management. Crain’s New York reports that the new owner, Bonjour Capital, may invest an additional $20M in upgrading the lobby, gym, and other amenities, though union workers fear their wages may be cut in half by the new buyer.

 

2. 3418-3446 91 Street & 3419-3447 90 Street, Queens

Sales Price: $72,150,000

This is Queens’ only position on June’s list, but one which shows the borough is still a hot choice for the smart money investor. This two parcel deal in Jackson Heights gives the new owner, La Mesa Verde, 6 multifamily apartment buildings with 324 units.

 

3. 68 Willoughby Street, Brooklyn

Sales Price: $46,601,000

Adding to the Downtown Brooklyn real estate frenzy, Gotham Capital picked up this mixed-use apartment and retail building last month for just shy of $47M. Note that the air rights had reportedly been transferred to The Bridge in 2012. Willoughby Street is one of the most exciting areas of NYC to watch right now, compounded by Extell’s recent acquisitions and move to build City Point at 138 Willoughby, and the potential for more development at the 200,000 square foot site at number 57 being offered by Helen Keller Services.
