440 West 41 st

JREA along with a joint venture partner originated a loan which was secured by a hard contract on 440West 41 st Street New York NY. The property had undergone a partner dispute and there was a court order to sell the property. A
few weeks before the planned closing it became apparent that the buyers were not going to be able to close on the property and the partnership would have to close on the property or risked losing our deposit. As we felt like the property was being sold for a below market price, we worked with a lender to close on this $27M transaction in
under 2 weeks. After taking over the property JREA was involved in the management and worked to stabilize the
property. After a few months an opportunity came up and the lender purchased JREA’s membership interest in
the partnership. The IRR on this transaction was 3360%.

700 Atlantic Ave

700 Atlantic Ave was purchased in 2011 and the entire transaction from contract to closing took place in under 15 days. The property is steps away from Barclays center and the Atlantic terminal mall which was being developed at the time. The location and development in the area was a key driver in purchasing this property and our quick execution gave us the ability to purchase the property for a below market price. The property was a 3-story building that was built in 1906 and features sturdy, old-school brick exteriors and soaring 16-foot ceilings. As part of the operating plan the property was marketed and sold in 2012. The IRR on this transaction was 55%

700 Atlantic Ave

When the property was purchased in 2013 it was an active Hawthorn Extended Stay hotel. However, due to high demand for apartments in the area, JREA converted the entire property into a high-value multifamily property.

This sale marks JREA’s continued commitment to creating value add real estate opportunities even in a turbulent market.

The Process:

The buildings required some renovation to update and convert each unit into a rentable apartment. Additionally, 2 new units were added to maximize the investment. To ensure cash flow during renovation, the conversion took place one building at a time, over 12 months.

By 2018, the property had stabilized and JREA refinanced, taking out a significant portion of the initial equity.

In December 2020, with no formal marketing, JREA was approached by a buyer and accepted an offer above asking price to exit the property.
