Avison Young
Bronx site has 100,000 s/f of development options
Avison Young announced that its Capital Markets Group has been retained as the exclusive sales agent for 291-299 East 161st Street, a development site in the Concourse neighborhood of The Bronx.
The Avison Young team of principal Jon Epstein and associates Sam Schertz and Eric Karmitz will manage the assignment on behalf of the property’s owner.
The 14,600 s/f parcel contains five townhouses that will be delivered vacant. With current zoning allowing for the construction of 102,000 square feet of space, the property is ideally positioned for the development of a retail, residential or mixed-use building.
“With land prices increasing in areas across the city, the South Bronx is one of the few neighborhoods where investors can find affordable acquisition opportunities with significant value-add potential,” said Epstein.
“This well-located development site will be extremely attractive to opportunistic investors interested in creating a retail, residential or mixed-use development in a prime neighborhood that is well served by transportation options.”
Blocks from Yankee Stadium, the property is near several bus and subway lines and is one block away from a Metro-North station, allowing for a 15-minute commute to Midtown Manhattan.
Epstein predicted, “There is a limited amount of quality housing options for the growing number of professionals and young families interested in moving to the area, and savvy investors will be eager to bid on a developable property of this size.”

Bronx sale terms ‘impossible to beat’

The $21.65 million sales price equates to more than $225,500 per unit.

“The 1514 Sedgwick Ave property was built in 2007 and has a 25-year 421a tax abatement. The buyer assumed two New York Housing Development Corp. loans with a combined interest rate of less than five percent that are locked in for more than 20 years,” Lala continued.
