NGKF Capital Markets is pleased to announce it has been retained as the exclusive broker for the sale of 16 East 16th Street. The 39,345-square-foot building is in a prime location in the Flatiron District, between Union Square and Fifth Avenue. NGKF Senior Managing Directors David Noonan and Jennifer Schwartzman will represent the seller, Family Life Ventures, Corp., in the sale, working with the seller’s legal counsel, Joshua Stein PLLC.
Currently occupied by a health center, the property is a historic building with an oversize rear yard and substantial unused development rights potential. The building, which will be delivered entirely vacant, presents opportunities to be redeveloped for office, retail or residential uses. The property offers over 50 feet of frontage along East 16th Street, a 100-year-old stone façade, high ceilings and large windows.
A number of new developments in the immediate area have invigorated the landmarked neighborhood. The property offers convenient access to some of the city’s top restaurants, exciting entertainment, New York University, Union Square Park and the Union Square subway station, which connects to the 4, 5, 6, N, Q, R and L trains.
“Investors continue to value Manhattan assets with historic character,” said Noonan. “This is an opportunity for a thoughtful developer or user to create something truly special.”
