NEW YORK CITY—Akelius Real Estate Management, which earlier this summer made the latest in a series of Brooklyn multifamily acquisitions, has now added to its Manhattan portfolio. The Swedish investment and asset management firm, which controls a portfolio of more than 50,000 apartments in Europe and North America, paid $60.9 million to acquire 321 E. 22nd St., a 117-unit property in the Gramercy Park neighborhood.
