Description

Stephen P. Wald Real Estate Associates, Inc. has been exclusively retained to represent the sale of 223 East 89th Street, which is an Upper East Side walk-up building comprised of 20 residential units. Located within mile of the new Q subway line and mile from the 4,5,6 on a lovely tree-lined street. This is the first time the property is being offered for sale in nearly 50 years.
Renovated studios in this neighborhood rent for an estimated average of $2,200 and renovated one-bedrooms rent for an estimated average of $2,800. There is also additional upside for combinations. The rent roll is substantially below market on all free market apartments. This property represents excellent upside potential.

Building Information

The Upper East Side remains the gold standard for classic New York elegance. Known for 'Museum Mile' and its low-traffic, tree-lined streets, the neighborhood offers a refined lifestyle away from the midtown bustle. While famous for its historic cooperatives, the area has seen a recent surge in ultra-luxury new construction condos, particularly along the Second Avenue Subway corridor, making it a top choice for both traditionalists and modern buyers.
