Jay Goldberg, president and owner of Spire Investments said, “We immediately submitted a compelling offer the first day this property hit the market. And now with active management, this property will turn around very quickly, as it offers a lot of attractive components.” 

Prior to closing, the seller remodeled all the exterior fire escapes, upgraded the fire alarm and sprinkler system, and provided a credit to install a new roof post-closing. 

Francesca Little of Little & CO represented Spire Investments on the buy side, and Institution for Savings provided financing.
