United States

Deal value: $134,000,000

Conversion of The Astor, a 98-unit prewar rental building on the Upper West Side, Manhattan, into luxury condominiums, with extensive renovations planned.

The core investment motivation is to capitalize on the strong demand for luxury condominiums in Manhattan, particularly in historic, architecturally significant buildings. The strategic purpose is to unlock value by converting a prewar rental asset into high-end condos, leveraging extensive renovations and modern amenities to attract affluent buyers seeking exclusivity and heritage. This investment is timely due to ongoing market appetite for premium residential offerings and the potential for significant price appreciation in landmarked locations.
