ASB Acquires Manhattan Mixed Use Property for $61.9M

ASB Real Estate Investments (ASB), a division of ASB Capital Management, LLC, announced this week that it had acquired 164-168 Canal Street in Manhattan on behalf of ASB's Allegiance Fund in a joint venture with George Comfort & Sons for $61.9 million. The six-story mixed use building first came to market in August, being marketed by Massey Knakal Realty Services with an asking price of $63 million. Terms of the deal were not disclosed.

Robert Bellinger, President and CEO of ASB Real Estate Investments, said: "This is a high-quality asset in a premier, Class A+, Manhattan retail location. Driven by the growth in Chinese wealth, this area of Canal Street has emerged as a thriving bank corridor and we expect the property to continue to experience strong investment grade tenancy that provides a steady income stream."

The 49,951 square-foot red brick building was originally constructed in 1910 at the corner of Canal and Elizabeth Streets. Nearly all of the current leases in the building are set to expire by the end of the year, with roughly 70% of the property occupied by credit tenants, including CitiBank and NY Life & Co.
