NYC Investment Firm Buys 260 Cooperative Apartments in Westchester

HARTSDALE, NY-The Cheshire Group, citing confidence in the residential sales market in Westchester County, reveals it has acquired 260 residential cooperative units in 12 buildings in the lower part of the county.

HARTSDALE , NY-A New York City investment firm has increased its condominium apartment portfolio in Westchester with the acquisition of 260 units in prime markets in the lower part of the county. The Cheshire Group, based in New York City, purchased the two cooperative portfolios in separate transactions. The identity of the sellers was not disclosed. Mark Zborovsky was the broker for the sellers.

“There’s a large segment of the market that is being priced out of Westchester, particularly in the lower part of the county where the median price for a single family home is in the mid-$400,000s, says Susan Hewitt, president of the Cheshire Group. “Cooperatives offer them an ideal opportunity to acquire home ownership and all of the advantages that come with it.”While no purchase price was disclosed, a source close to the deal says the sellout value of the units purchased totals approximately $21 million. With the deal, Cheshire now owns more than 1,000 apartments in Westchester County. A significant portion of the units acquired is located at 111-119 East Hartsdale Ave., in Hartsdale and 505 Central Ave., in White Plains. The remaining units are located in Scarsdale, East Hartsdale, Yonkers and Port Chester.

Hewitt says that 60% of the units purchased are free market rentals, while 40% are rent-regulated apartments. “We have opened a sales office and we are actively marketing our free market rental units once they turn over,” she adds.
