Bensonhurst corner property sold for $8.4 million
A corner property on 18th Avenue – one of Bensonhurst’s most heavily trafficked thoroughfares – has been sold to new owners, according to a report on a real estate website.
The Commercial Observer reported on March 19 that the property at 6601 18th Ave., a vacant lot where a 4,000-square-foot Bank of America branch is slated to be constructed, was sold to a company called Ninth Avenue Equities Co. Inc. for $8.4 million. The property was sold by developer Joseph Cayre, of Midtown Equities, and Isaac Chera, a principal at Crown Acquisitions, city records show.
The owners listed the property through Massey Knakal Realty Services. In its listing, Massey Knakal described 18th Avenue as “one of the neighborhood’s most visible and heavily-trafficked thoroughfares.” The real estate firm also touted the property as “an obvious location” for a bank.
