Investment Insights

Based on property information with market context.

2149-2151 Utica Avenue presents two adjacent income-producing properties in a mixed-use configuration, combining commercial and residential occupancy. The property includes established tenants with a history of timely rent payments, supporting dependable day-to-day operations. In addition to the currently occupied space, there is additional vacant commercial space available for lease.

Located along Utica Avenue in Brooklyn, the properties benefit from visibility and accessibility in a high-demand Brooklyn corridor. The mix of commercial and residential occupancy offers flexibility for ongoing leasing and future rent growth as the vacant unit is brought online.

With two adjacent buildings under one offering, this setup is designed for buyers looking for established tenancy, continuity in rental payments, and the opportunity to improve overall income through leasing the available commercial space.

Key Highlights

  • Two adjacent income‑producing properties at 2149‑2151 Utica Avenue
  • Mixed commercial and residential occupancy
  • Vacant commercial space available for lease

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
$150,338
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
7.16%
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.
