Meridian’s Doshi Arranges Deal for Carnegie Hill Apartments

Amit Doshi of Meridian Investment Sales arranged the sale of 118 E. 93rd St. in the Upper East Side’s Carnegie Hill neighborhood for $27.5 million. The 38-unit pre-war building, which sold for $723,685 per unit, underwent extensive condo-like renovations and is 42% free market.

Crest Realty had purchased the property in 2017, intending to convert it to condominiums. Of the 17 free-market apartments, nine apartments were gut-renovated with modern condo finishes and substantial renovations, and upgrades were also made to the lobby. Crest also installed a brand-new gym, storage, bike room and laundry room.

Doshi and colleague Jonathan Shainberg represented the purchaser, Gazivoda Realty. Cushman & Wakefield’s Robert Shapiro, Ian Brooks and Brett Weisblum represented Crest Realty.

Jacob Schmuckler of Meridian Capital Group arranged $16.5 million in financing from a regional bank in a brief 30-day timeframe. “This was a true time-of-the-essence closing, as the existing bridge lender required payoff,” said Schmuckler.

Connect New York 2020 is set to take place on Wednesday, April 29 at Upper Story by Charlie Palmer. For more information, or to register, click here.
