Brooklyn, NY According to Klosed Properties, the firm has completed the purchase of 688 Washington Ave. A 3-story mixed-use building in the Prospect Heights section. Two of the apartments are being delivered vacant. The retail is currently occupied by Sit & Wonder, a cafe serving coffee, tea, and light pastries. The sales price was $1.65 million.

“This acquisition shows us all that you can still find good deals at fair prices in the best areas of Brooklyn” said Ryan Powers-Tapp, director of acquisitions, who handled this transaction.

This closing marks the firms’ 8th acquisition of 2016. They are currently under contract to purchase six additional properties.
