Investment Insights
Based on property information with market context.
Constructed in 1890-91 as part of a five-rowhouse development by Breen and Nason, and designed by A. B. Ogden & Son, this five-story townhouse features a Renaissance Revival brownstone facade with a rusticated base and a bowed window on the third floor. Located on a tree-lined townhouse block, the 20-foot wide building contains approximately 5,850 square feet, excluding the full basement. The property is configured as 12 apartments, with ten to be delivered vacant. The remaining two units are occupied by free-market, month-to-month tenants. The house is exempt from certificate of no harassment requirements. The property offers the opportunity for conversion to a single-family residence or a live-with-income arrangement. The two ground floor units are currently owner-occupied and combined into a single two-bedroom, two-bathroom garden apartment. Features include a landscaped garden, a fourth-floor terrace, and a full basement. The property has been meticulously maintained by the same family for over five decades and is in excellent condition.
Key Highlights
- Prime location on a tree‑lined townhouse block.
- Significant conversion potential: opportunity to convert to a single‑family residence or live with income.
- Delivered with ten vacant apartments, providing immediate income or renovation potential.
Financial Insights
Estimated NOI and Cap Rate
NOI = area × lease_rate × (100 − vacancy) / 100 × (1 − expense_ratio). Net Operating Income — what the owner takes home each year before mortgage payments and income tax. Effective rent (asking rent minus vacancy losses) minus operating costs (taxes, insurance, maintenance, management).
NOI / Yr
$183,784
Cap rate = NOI / list price × 100. Capitalization rate — annual return on a fully cash purchase, before financing. NOI divided by price. Higher means more income per dollar invested, but usually also more risk or older condition. 5–8% is typical for stabilized commercial property; double digits often signal distressed deals.
Cap Rate
4.22%
Suggested Prices Based on Cap Rates
Cap rates vary significantly by property type, market, and asset quality.
Typical U.S. stable-market ranges:
Multifamily — 4.5% to 6.5% (Class A in primary markets often sub-5%; Class C in secondary markets 6%+)
Industrial / Logistics — 5.0% to 7.0% (compressed heavily in recent years due to e-commerce demand)
Office — 6.5% to 9%+ (wide spread post-2020; CBD Class A vs. suburban Class B varies dramatically)
Retail — 5.5% to 8.5% (grocery-anchored on the low end, unanchored strip centers higher)
Hospitality / Hotels — 7.5% to 10%+ (higher due to operational risk)
Self-Storage — 5.5% to 7.5%
Medical Office — 6.0% to 7.5%
Net Lease (single tenant, credit) — 5.0% to 7.0% depending on tenant credit and lease term
Rules of thumb:
Primary markets (NYC, SF, LA, Boston, DC) trade at lower cap rates than secondary/tertiary markets, often by 100–200 bps (bps, aka basis points; 1 bp = 0.01%).
Class A assets trade ~50–150 bps tighter than Class B, and Class B tighter than Class C.
Cap rates move inversely with price — a lower cap rate means a higher price for the same NOI.
Spread to the 10-year Treasury is a common benchmark; historically 200–400 bps over the 10-year.
