NEW YORK CITY-Sdg Management has sold a four-story loft building at 105 E. 9th St. in Manhattan's East Village for $4.4 million, GlobeSt.com has learned. Queens investors David and Cindy Fu purchased the 30-foot by 46-foot building.
The property is located on the north side of East 9th Street between Fourth and Third avenues. The loft property contains approximately 5,520 sf. All the units on the second, third and fourth floors are vacant, the source explains, so there is an opportunity to renovate.
The building comes with shared rights to the adjacent alleyway, Lafayette Court, and approximately 2,760 sf of air rights assuming commercial or mixed-use. The transaction occurred at a cap rate of 5.8%. The property sold for $797.10 per sf, which a source close to the deal tells GlobeSt.com is above market average.
"This property attracted interest from both the residential and commercial side, as well as investors and developers," notes Massey Knakal broker James Kinsey, who exclusively represented the seller with chairman Robert Knakal. "The purchaser was a 1031 buyer who viewed it as an investment." Massey Knakal Realty Services was the sole broker in this transaction.
