call me crazy, but it looks like the first floor would be PERFECT for a little coffe shop with wifi, prepared gourmet food and poky sticks.

"Massey Knakal Realty Services represented the sellers in the all cash transaction to an institutional buyer in Manhattan. "

What is an "institutional buyer"?? does it mean it's going to turn into a nursing home or school. or.. ??

chris said...

it looks from the records that the property is being turned co-op

i think institutional buyer means that we'll be welcoming an insane asylum to the hood.

perhaps they'll serve coffee

Institutional buyer just means it's a group of investors functioning as a business rather than a single investor. Also typically implies that it's a large group of investors rather than 3 friends who got together (think the Carlyle Group as opposed to you and your cousin pooling your money). Does not = 'institution' of any kind.

kensington still needs more crazy people.

The "Institutional Buyer" is a fund which pools investors funds to invest in this case in real estate. I understand they may own another building farther north on OP. I also heard the vacant space is for more professional (doctor). I would think that a building going for that much means someone thinks that the rental market in Kensington is going up.

Sixty-three units for $12.4 million. That equals an average purchase price of $197,000 per unit.

According to the blurb, the building offers 49,000 square feet of living space -- or an average size of 775 square feet per unit.

What does it all mean? Might this building become condos or co-ops?

Does anyone know anything about the rents in this building?

i like coffee. and this is just across the street from me! yay!

what kensington needs is definitely a neighborhood place. I am new to this neighborhood and certainly havent fully investigated it but where can someone go to just chill out and hang out in the ocean parkway ditmas/cortelyou area.

483 Ocean Parkway was sold on August 30th for $12,400,000 in an all cash transaction. This number is unreal considering the buildings rent roll was $830K THATS LIKE 15 times rent roll. The broker on it was Jason Mayer from Massey Knakal....how do they get these numbers
