Investment Insights

Based on property information with market context.

This 15-unit mixed-use property features approximately 15,800 square feet and includes 20 feet of frontage on a 20’ x 98.75’ lot. The building is structured as an 8-story elevator property and contains 1 retail unit and 14 residential units made up of one one-bedroom unit, three two-bedroom units, and ten three-bedroom units. Three of the residential units are rent regulated while the remaining 11 are free-market. The retail space is occupied by Little Basil Thai Restaurant.

The property is located on the north side of 26th Street between Third Avenue and Lexington Avenue, and it is zoned R8B. Ownership has completed several capital improvements within the past three years, including elevator modernization (mechanical systems, controls, and safety systems), replacement of the water tower, and significant façade work such as reinforcing steel beams, replacing steel lintels, and upgrading the parapet. The hallways and stairs have also been updated with modern finishes, and security upgrades include a virtual doorman via the ButterflyMX Comelit system and an ADR security system.

For tenant-ready residential convenience, the free-market units have been newly renovated and include in-unit washers and dryers, dishwashers, stainless steel appliances, and individual HVAC units. The property’s regulated units include one one-bedroom, one two-bedroom, and one three-bedroom unit, which are noted as scheduled to become free market upon vacancy due to an expired J-51 tax abatement.
