(Mark your calendars: RealShare Apartments 2011, Oct.20 in Los Angeles, and don't forget RealShare New York takes place Oct. 12 at the Marriott Marquis.)

NEW YORK CITY-Eastern Consolidated has been selected by special servicer ING Clarion Torchlight to market the $70-million mortgage note on an 460-unit, eight-building pre-war apartment portfolio in Upper Manhattan, unnamed sources tell GlobeSt.com. The buildings, known as Broadway Portfolio II, are all located within a few short blocks of one another between 160^th and 164^th Streets in Washington Heights and Morningside Heights.

The properties, owned by Vantage Properties LLC, are located at 3885 Broadway, 4455 Broadway, 3915 Broadway, 3900 Broadway, 80 and 86 Fort Washington Ave., 66-72 Fort Washington Ave. and 884 Riverside Dr. From here, an eight-member team at Eastern Consolidated will spearhead the marketing initiative for the sale of the defaulted senior secured interest in the portfolio, including senior directors David Schechtman, Azita Aghravi and Marcia Rose Yawitz; chairman Peter Hauspurg; directors Lipa Lieberman and Marion Jones; director of financial services Scott Ellard and associate Philip Huang.
