Investment Insights

Based on property information with market context.

The property at 368 Central Avenue is a mixed-use building with 4,875 SF of built space, comprised of five residential units and two retail spaces. The residential component includes four two-bedroom, one-bath units and one studio unit. At closing, the building will be delivered with all five residential units vacant. Both retail spaces are currently occupied by a salon and a barber shop on month-to-month leases, and the spaces can be delivered vacant for an end-user or a pocket tenant.

The asset is located at 368 Central Avenue in Bushwick, Brooklyn. The property benefits from protected tax class 2B status. Zoning is R6, which supports 5,500 buildable square feet as-of-right, and up to 9,750 square feet with the UAP bonus.

For buyers or operators seeking a combined residential and retail setup, this structure offers flexibility in tenanting given the vacant residential delivery and the month-to-month retail occupancy. With the zoning framework in place for additional buildable square feet, it can also appeal to buyers evaluating redevelopment or expansion scenarios consistent with the stated right-and-bonus parameters.

Key Highlights

  • All 5 residential units will be vacant at closing for straightforward repositioning
  • Residential mix: four 2BD/1BA apartments plus one studio unit

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
$176,963
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
8.43%
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.
