NEW YORK CITY – Newly constructed multifamily and hotel assets that have come online in Brooklyn has drawn a flock of investors in search of long term upside for the free-market units, according to the Cushman & Wakefield team marketing the Sunset Park hotel at 517 39th St., and the Bushwick Portfolio at 682 & 692 Bushwick Ave in Brooklyn.
There is a growing demand for recently constructed hotel and multifamily assets with free-market units, in which there are limited acquisition opportunities for the asset types, especially in fast gentrifying Brooklyn neighborhoods like Sunset Park and Bushwick. For these reasons, the assets are sure to draw a crowd, Stephen Preuss, vice chairman at Cushman & Wakefield, tells GlobeSt.com.
“The sale of the Bushwick Avenue portfolio offers investors the chance to participate in the persistent growth of the neighborhood,” he said. “Investors are looking for longer-term upside through the renovation of free-market apartments.”
