reprintsDermot Property Associates has sold a portfolio of 14 buildings in Manhattan, the Bronx and Queens for $190.5 million, The Commercial Observer has learned.
Ten of the buildings – five in Manhattan and five in the Bronx – were sold to the Parkoff Organization for $158 million, and the remaining four were sold to Douglaston Realty, said Aaron Jungreis, president of Rosewood Realty Group, who represented the buyers.
The 14 buildings were initially marketed as a package before it was determined that splitting it up was in the best interest of both the buyers and the seller.
“The guy in the Bronx and Mahattan didn’t want the Queens buildings, and the guy in Queens didn’t want the Bronx and Manhattan buildings, so it paid to split them up,” Mr. Jungreis said. “We didn’t have much time to get the deal done before the end of the year and because both the buyers and the seller were very efficient we got this done in record time.”
A Cushman & Wakefield (CWK) team led by Steve Kohn, Helen Hwang, Mark Ehlinger, Nat Rockett, Karen Wiedenmann, Sujohn Sarkar, and Sridhar Vankayala represented Dermot Property Associates.
“Dermot had assembled a very impressive portfolio of apartment buildings throughout New York City, which attracted substantial interest from private and institutional investors,” said Steve Kohn, president of Cushman & Wakefield Equity, Debt & Structured Finance, in a prepared statement.
The portfolio consists of 861 apartments and 41 retail units. The Manhattan buildings are located in the West Village, East Village and the Lower East Side, while the five in the Bronx are in the Pelham Parkway neighborhood of the Bronx. The buildings sold to Douglaston are in Astoria, Queens.
