"This building represents one of the last exceptional investment opportunities in a neighborhood diverse with culture and promising new noteworthy redevelopment," Polsinelli says. "The average rents in this property are approximately $870 per month, far below the market rent achievable in similar buildings." She further notes that the apartments are all along Roosevelt Avenue here.

The partnership consists of two groups of different families, she tells GlobeSt.com. "The strength of the Flushing residential market is clearly an indication that investing in rent-regulated apartments is the best hedge in a volatile real estate environment."

Polsinelli also recently sold a 10-building package of apartment buildings here, as GlobeSt.com reported when it was first marketed in March. Bowne St. Associates LLC were the sellers of that residential package and decided to sell after the partnership chose to break up. Polsinelli explained that it was only recently sold to a local buyer and is currently in contract for 90 days. She could not further disclose information regarding that deal at this time, but she notes that the sellers of the 160-rent-stabilized apartments now on the market were "impressed by the results of that previous deal."
