72-76 GREENE STREET SELLS FOR $41.5MM New York City— Eastern Consolidated on Thursday said it brokered the sale of 72-76 Greene St. for $41.5 million, which equates to $1 ,186 per square foot, to Chicago-based L3 Capital with partner ASB Capital Management. Adelaide Polsinelli and Robert Khodadadian , represented the buyer and seller on the all-cash deal, according to a release. Eastern brokered the deal on behalf of BSJ Soho, an affiliate of the apparel company Bear USA. Situated between Spring and Broome streets, the five-story mixed use elevatored 38,000-square-foot building in Soho's Cast Iron Historic District contains two retail spaces, three commercial units and three residential rent-stabilized lofts. Dubbed "The King of Greene Street," because it represents one of the best examples of French Reniassance/Second Empire styles in the area, the release says, the sale marks the third time the building has changed hands. Constructed in 1873 by architect Isaac Duckworth and owned at various times by Steve Witkoff, Gary Barnett and David Slaven, the building was most recently home to an Apple Computer store in one of its retail spaces . The Apple store was only temporary while the company revamped its Prince Street location; it abandoned the Greene Street store in September, according to the New York Times. The new owner is working to secure a new reta iler to take up Apple's vacated space on the ground, second and basement levels. Dedon Furniture currently occupies the north store. The building originally served as a warehouse belonging to dry goods dealer Gardener Colby . "In addition to Eastern Consolidated's hat trick of selling this three times, after two previous failed transactions, I was able source the ultimate purchaser, an out of state buyer, who performed as promised and without a hitch," she says in the release. "Fortunately, the seller Tom Hong, managing director of BSJ SoHo, remained convinced that I would find the right buyer for his off-market trophy property" said Polsinelli. 212.537.9239 | 600 THIRD AVE, 15TH FL, NEW YORK, NEW YORK 10016 | SKYLINEPRP.COM
