180 Scholes Street
Multifamily | 4.00% CAP | 34 Units
Marketing description
IPRG has been exclusively retained to offer 180 Scholes Street — a 34-unit, 43,843 SF new-construction multifamily building at the corner of Scholes Street and Humboldt Street in Williamsburg, Brooklyn. The property received its Certificate of Occupancy in August 2012 and offers one of the clearest near-term deregulation opportunities available in the Brooklyn multifamily market.
The investment thesis rests on three converging and time-certain catalysts. First, a legacy 421A tax abatement expiring July 1, 2027 — with no affordability requirements — converts all 34 units to free-market status simultaneously, driving NOI from $813,709 today to $1,417,540 on a pro forma basis. Second, a highly assumable, non-recourse Fannie Mae loan at 3.15% with nine years of remaining term requires only ~$6.2M in equity at the offering price and generates over $381,000 in annual principal reduction from day one. Third, a genuinely differentiated unit mix — 16 duplex apartments, numerous private roof terraces, private gardens, balconies, and unit sizes ranging up to 1,778 SF — supports pro forma rents that are conservative relative to comparable product trading in Williamsburg proper, where no direct competition for this product type exists at scale.
The pro forma underwrite assumes full unabated real estate taxes of $467,000 based on the property's assessed value following 421A expiration. At the pro forma NOI of $1,417,540 and the $20,300,000 offering price, the property clears at a 6.98% cap rate — a compelling return on a free market new-construction asset in one of Brooklyn's most supply-constrained and high-demand rental submarkets. Net cash flow after debt service of $592,445 in the pro forma year translates to a 9.83% cash-on-cash return on the equity outlay, and a 14.92% total projected return inclusive of principal reduction.
Investment Property Realty Group (IPRG) has been exclusively retained to offer for sale 180 Scholes Street, a new-construction 4-story multifamily building located in the heart of Williamsburg, Brooklyn. The property comprises 34 residential apartments and received its Final Certificate of Occupancy in August 2012.
The asset benefits from a legacy 421-a tax exemption with no affordability requirements, which commenced in Fiscal Year 2012 (July 1, 2011 – June 30, 2012). The tax benefit expires after Fiscal Year 2026 (ending June 30, 2026). Beginning July 1, 2026, the property will be taxed on its full assessed value with no further exemptions and will be immediately eligible for deregulated, market-rate status.
Importantly, the property is encumbered by highly attractive, assumable financing, providing a significant advantage in today’s capital markets environment. The existing loan carries a low fixed interest rate of 3.15% and is in place through 2035, allowing a buyer to lock in below-market debt while benefiting from meaningful annual principal reduction in excess of $300,000. This offering represents a rare opportunity to acquire a 34-unit asset with near-term deregulation in Williamsburg, one of Brooklyn’s most supply-constrained and high-demand rental markets. With mark-to-market rent growth, assumable low-cost financing, and strong principal paydown, the property is well positioned to capitalize on both near-term income growth and long-term equity appreciation as the Williamsburg
rental market continues to mature.
