Gebroe-Hammer Associates Arranges Two Distressed Multi-Family Asset Sales in Teaneck and Paterson, N.J.
Livingston, N.J., Firm is Exclusive Broker in Both Transactions.
- New York, NY (1888PressRelease) June 27, 2012 - Gebroe-Hammer Associates, the Livingston, N.J.-based real estate investment brokerage firm, recently capped off a busy spring season by orchestrating the sale of two distressed multi-family assets in the heart of Bergen and Passaic counties.
"Portfolio and single-property investors are stepping up their acquisition activity in the wake of record-low vacancy rates and distressed property opportunities that offer tremendous performance potential," said Ken Uranowitz, managing director. "The locations of these particular properties - both offering commuting convenience and easy access to Manhattan - are high on any investor's wish list."
The Bergen County transaction, brokered by Senior Vice President Greg Pine, involved the $1.405 million sale of 16 units at 63 Washington Place in Teaneck. The three-story brick building was built in 1940 and includes 13 one-bedroom units, two two-bedroom units and one three-bedroom unit. Both the buyer and seller are long-time Gebroe-Hammer clients.
"This property, which was in bankruptcy court, was an all-cash transaction,'' said Pine. "The new owner plans to implement a renovation program in order to turn the property around and position it more competitively in this robust rental market." According to Gebroe-Hammer, average rents for a one-bedroom unit in Bergen County start at approximately $1,100.
Legal counsel for the Teaneck trade was provided by Kevin P. Kelly, Esq., of Kelly Kelly Marotta & Lafferty LLC in Maywood, and Donald W. Clarke, Esq., of Wasserman, Jurista & Stolz in Millburn, on behalf of the buyer and seller, respectively.
The brokerage team of Uranowitz and Debbie Pomerantz, sales associate, also arranged a $644,000, nine-building portfolio note sale totaling 46 units in Paterson. This is the twelfth note sale Gebroe-Hammer has sold exclusively for a prominent New York bank during the past 18 months. The properties are located on Jackson Street, Oak Street, Washington Avenue, Broadway, Godwin Avenue and Sussex Street. A private investor acquired the portfolio.
Rich in history and boasting a significant parks and recreation system, Paterson is highly favored by commuters. The city is served directly by I-80 as well as Routes 4, 19 and 20. Routes 46, 3, 17, 21, 208 and the Garden State Parkway are nearby.
