Investment Insights
Based on property information with market context.
Located in East Harlem, this mixed-use investment property features 12 residential units above a commercial space occupied by a Mexican restaurant. The restaurant contributes over $130,000 annually through base rent, tax contributions, and utility reimbursements. The residential apartments include studio alcoves, one-bedroom units, and one-bedroom units with a home office, with four identical units of each layout. Recent improvements within the last four years include boiler upgrades, roof replacement and waterproofing, lobby and hallway renovations with new tile floors and repainting, new lighting, select unit upgrades with new kitchens and baths and refinished oak floors, a new EIFS/Stucco and Waterproofing facade system on the side and rear, and brick repointing and power-washing. An Alteration Type I Permit was obtained in 2022 for the removal of lot line windows, preparing the property for a new adjacent development site with approximately 25,000 buildable square feet. A live-in superintendent maintains the property. The seller also owns the adjacent development site and is willing to do a package deal for both the building and lot. The neighborhood is expected to benefit from the upcoming 2nd Avenue subway extension up to 125th Street.
Key Highlights
- High Net Operating Income (NOI) of over $260,000 and an approximate 7% cap rate.
- Commercial space occupied by a restaurant generating over $130,000 annually.
- Recent renovations (boiler, roof, lobby, hallways, select kitchens/baths, facade) provide a turnkey investment.
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
$325,290
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
8.67%
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.
