NYC’s top deals: Brooklyn Heights townhouse sells for $13M

"The top commercial real estate transaction to hit records was in Midtown, where Gary Barnett’s Extell Development Company closed on the sale of a development site at 405-407 Park Avenue for about $451 million, according to deeds filed with the city. Sources previously told The Real Deal that the sellers were seeking north of $500 million for the site, and that Extell was also set to acquire air rights from the nearby Central Synagogue. Swedish investor Corem Property Group AB was the seller of 407–417 Park Avenue, and Deutsche Bank’s asset management arm and MRP Realty were the sellers of 405 Park Avenue."
