The source explains that they cannot disclose the reasons for selling. They did note, however, that the transaction occurred at a capitalization rate of 6.3% and sold for $527.16 per sf.

The building, located at 162 E. 33rd St. is a 25-foot-wide property located on the south side of East 33rd Street between Park and Lexington Avenues and once had a tapas/bar restaurant on the ground floor. The upper floors consist of seven one-bedroom apartments, all railroad-style, two of which are rent stabilized, one that is rent controlled and four that are free market.

While smaller than the original 128-seat restaurant, the new Second Avenue Deli will seat at least 75 people in the newly renovated space. "It was great helping the Second Avenue Deli find a new home," notes Massey Knakal partner and managing director James Nelson, who exclusively represented the seller with vice chairman John Ciraulo. "Although those in the East Village will miss their neighborhood institution, I'm sure the deli's business will be off the charts at the new location as they appeal to the Midtown lunch crowd."
