Overview
TerraCRG has been retained to exclusively represent ownership in the sale of the five-unit, multifamily building located at 798 Knickerbocker Avenue in the Bushwick neighborhood of Brooklyn.

The brick building just underwent a full gut renovation from top to bottom. The property consists of 5 vacant, fully renovated, free market condo quality apartments.

The property has projected income of approximately $140,000 when fully occupied at market rent which equates to approximately a 5.4% Cap. Rate. The property has extremely low expenses as the utilities have been seperately metered.
All of the apartments have condo-quality finishes and include granite countertops, handcrafted hand stained wood, and stainless steel GE appliances. The building also has:
- – New electric, with each unit being supplied with 240 amps.
