DelShah Capital Purchases 1356 First Avenue, NYC

By Allison Halliday | September 5, 2011

The principal of DelShah Capital, Michael Shah, has announced that the firm has purchased 1356 First Avenue. It is a mixed use, multi-family and retail property, located in Manhattan's Upper East Side neighborhood on the north east corner of 73rd Street and First Avenue, and was sold in a transaction worth $9.125 million.

There are 26 residential one bedroom condo units and a ground floor Italian restaurant Petaluma, which has been a neighborhood favorite for over 25 years. The transaction was somewhat complex as the building was converted into a condominium in the 90s, and since then had been run as a rental building. This meant DelShah had to close on each individual unit.

Shah said "On a basic level, this was attractive because we see excellent upside potential for the residential units. There are also significant air rights that will allow us to add two floors to this corner building." Apparently the building is 19,840 ft.², but has another 25,216 ft.² of air rights.

DelShah intends to invest in the property in order to realise new potentials and maximise rents during the coming years. Distinct New York, an affiliate of DelShah, is the exclusive marketing agency for 1356 First Avenue.
