NEW YORK CITY-American Realty Capital New York Recovery REIT, Inc., a non-traded real estate investment program part of American Realty Capital, has closed on the acquisition of 50 rental units and a 36-space parking facility at 163 Washington in the Clinton Hill section of Brooklyn, according to a company statement on Tuesday morning.
