Alpha Realty Brings Expiring 421a Multifamily Properties to Market as Post-Abatement Investment Opportunities in NYC

Share this news:

Alpha Realty announces a new slate of multifamily listings in Brooklyn and Queens tied to expiring 421a abatements. The offering follows three recent closings and reflects continued investor activity in post-abatement assets amid evolving rent regulations and market transitions across New York City.

-- Alpha Realty is currently marketing a high-value portfolio of multifamily buildings across New York City; each tied to expiring or recently expired 421a tax abatements. The listings may appeal to investors seeking post-abatement opportunities with potential for rent growth and operational flexibility amid evolving regulatory conditions.

Alpha Realty recently completed the sales of three 421a multifamily buildings: 182 Eagle Street in Greenpoint, 97 Grand Avenue in Clinton Hill, and 525 Union Avenue in Williamsburg. These transactions reflect ongoing investor interest in post-abatement assets and highlight movement in Brooklyn’s transitional multifamily market.

“These buildings aren’t just tax-sunset opportunities—they’re real estate fundamentals at work,” said Lev Mavashev, Principal at Alpha Realty. “They’re newer, well-maintained, and excluded from Good Cause Eviction, which is a massive advantage in today’s rental landscape. Plus, most of them won’t require major capex to unlock value.”
