We like to keep tabs on the latest happenings at 221 East Broadway, the 1907 Beaux Arts building that’s been on the market for several years. Among the ground floor retail tenants here: Pushcart Coffee, Malt & Mold and (coming soon) a new bar that’s causing a bit of controversy with the neighbors.
Two years ago, we reported that David Slaven’s Red Brick Properties had put the building at East Broadway and Clinton streets up for sale, asking $9.75 million. Now a new brokerage firm, Massey Knakal, has taken over the listing, and the prospectus includes some interesting new details. For starters, the asking price has now increased to $12,250,000, in part due to numerous capital improvements (and presumably a strengthening real estate market). The smallest commercial spaces rent for around $3,000/month. The document indicates the new bar will be paying $8,000/month for a 1300 square foot space.
Two years ago, 23 out of 26 apartments were rent regulated. According to Massey Knakal, 16 units are rent regulated today; 10 are market rate apartments. The residential rents range from $5400/month to as low as $153/month. The building’s net operating income is reported to be about $685,000.
The prospectus notes, “221-223 East Broadway is located one block from the proposed Seward Park Mixed-Use Development Project.”
$54000 per month! I’m going to assume you men $5400? or is that actually yearly rent for the upper range?
Thanks for pointing that out. $5400 per month. It’s been fixed.
Based on what I’ve seen of that building, the guy paying 153 a month is getting ripped off. You can put lipstick on a pig….
Guess you haven’t seen much.
