Alan Stenson, Senior Director of Manhattan based Investment Sales brokerage firm Brax Realty is pleased to announce the sale of a +/- 6,620 SF package of commercial buildings in NoMAd/Herald Square. The properties, 54-56 West 31st Street, New York NY located between Broadway and 6th Avenue sold for $9,000,000. The properties have an additional +/- 18,572 SF of air rights and were delivered vacant at closing. The sellers were the Joyce and O’Reilly families and the purchaser was Ken Lee - the properties traded hands for the first time in 40 years.
54-56 West 31st Street are zoned C6-4X and located in a prime NoMad/Herald Square location and situated next door to a brand new office building being constructed by GDS Development. The building was previously occupied by O’Reilly’s Pub and Restaurant and had 40 feet of frontage on 31st Street. Stenson said “Finding purchasers for this type of asset is extremely difficult in the pandemic market. This holds true especially when the majority of similar user types in the city are either renegotiating leases due to restrictions or have gone out of business. I was able to secure an area focused purchaser who transacted all cash and signed the contract and closed within 45 days”
