NEW YORK CITY-In continuing its retail expansion in Manhattan and the outer-boroughs, American Realty Capital New York Recovery REIT is under contract to acquire two retail sites in Greenwich Village and Howard Beach, Queens, for $36.5 million. Michael Happel, chief investment officer and executive vice president for the company, tells GlobeSt.com that the REIT will acquire four retail condominiums at the base of One Jackson Square at 122 Greenwich Ave. from sellers RFR Realty and Hines and a Duane Reade Pharmacy at 163-30 Cross Bay Blvd. from Wharton Properties.

The properties are being acquired through the REIT’s $1.5 billion equity fund. Happel expects the transactions to close within 60 days and anticipates more deals of this nature in weeks to come. “We are building a portfolio of New York real estate,” he says. “Our strategy is to focus on existing income-producing commercial real estate in the five boroughs, so we do expect to have many more acquisitions of this type. We will be buying a combination of mostly office and retail properties, but selectively, other property types, such as multifamily, apartments, even parking garages.”
