Fairstead, Invesco acquire $148.5M interest from Property Resources Corp. for affordable property valued at $350M

Fairstead and Invesco acquired an interest valued at $148.5 million from Property Resources Corp. for affordable housing in the Bronx, in a deal that reportedly valued the assets at $350 million. The approximately 1,900 units were sold in five transactions for rental buildings and some commercial assets.

This was an entity level sale and not a deed transfer, composed of five transactions for 1,930 units totaling $148.5 million. Crain’s first reported the sale with a value of approximately $350 million and Fairstead released a press release that did not disclose a price. It’s unclear why there is a price discrepancy. No New York City transfer tax was paid, but approximately $1 million in state transfer tax was paid.

According to Crain’s the units in the portfolio are for renters earning between 30 percent and 100 percent of the area median income, which is now between $35,790 and $119,300 for a family of four.
