Executive Summary

• Ariel Property Advisors has been retained on an exclusive basis to sell 118-120 West 27th Street. Located between Sixth and Seventh Avenue in Midtown South, the property lies within the new Midtown South Mixed-Use Plan (MSMX) area and benefits from a central location with arguably the best transportation in the world. Now re-zoned, this area is poised to become one of the most dynamic and sought-after areas of New York City.
• The property is a 12-story, 37.5’ wide, mixed-use building that has undergone an intensive renovation program to convert the upper 11 floors to residential use.
• The residential zoning created by the MSMX plan allows for conversion of the 9,384 SF vacant commercial space on Floors 4,5,6 and the rear of 2 to residential use (This path to convert the remaining commercial had been lacking, as the prior M1-6 zoning would not allow residential use as-of-right).
• The incentives found in the newly minted 467-M tax incentive program, combined with the zoning reforms under City of Yes, allow for efficient conversion of the existing 3.5 floors of vacant office space (9,384 sf approx.) and for a 90% real estate tax exemption for this converted space.
• The program to obtain a residential CofO was launched in 2010. At present, 84% of this legalization program has been completed at cost of over $8,600,000.
• New mechanicals, including a new gas-fired boiler with hydronic heat, new plumbing, upgraded electric service – 1,200 AMPs, new meter bank and panels, new life safety systems, two upgraded elevators, and a building intercom system with key card access have been installed.
• 7,281 sf, spanning three floors, have been converted to 5 luxurious two-bedroom apartments renting at an average of $75/sf ($8,000 - $8,750/mth).
• An additional 1,320 unit is vacant and a First Rent can be set upon completion of the building legalization program.
• 7,950 sf on Floors 4, 5, 6 have been white-boxed and are ready for conversion. An additional 1,436 sf of office space at the rear of the second floor is vacant, gutted and ready for conversion.
• There are 5 IMD units spanning 9,615 sf. – 1 of the IMD tenants sold their IMD rights. On vacancy, this full-floor unit could be split into two Free Market apartments.
• The 2,532 SF retail space has been marketed for lease and several strong offers obtained.
• 118 West 27th Street represents a tremendous opportunity to take over a conversion project (where most of the onerous and expensive work is already complete), benefit from the MSMX rezoning to complete the conversion of the property into a luxurious mixed-use building.

At Pietro, tradition never goes out of style. Since 1982, Pietro has been delivering quality and precision from the heart of New York City under the direction of leather craftsman Pierre Dabagh and his son Alex. Every bag that leaves the factory passes through the family’s hands, a reflection of their love for the art and dedication to quality. Each Pietro piece is handcrafted with the utmost attention to detail, beginning with genuine Italian leather hand-selected by Pierre before every new collection. As one of the last standing factories in New York’s Garment District, Pietro makes every step of the production process count — from the number of stitches to the finishing of the edges.
