NEW YORK, NY – June 23, 2020 – Ariel Property Advisors has been exclusively retained to sell 161-165 West 132nd Street, a rare, four-story, 60-foot-wide, residential or commercial conversion property in Central Harlem. Listed at $7.5 million, the 22,800-square-foot property also contains a 135-spot parking garage with an additional 5,700 square feet below grade and a further buildable area allotted for 20,623 square feet. With flexible R7-2 / C1-4 zoning, the building is able to accommodate residential, retail, restaurant, education, office or other community-oriented uses.

Located on a tree-lined, residential block, the property sits on the north side of West 132nd Street between major corridors Adam Clayton Powell Boulevard and Lenox Avenue in Central Harlem’s Historic District. 161 West 132nd Street consists of a vacant, four-story structure above the active parking garage, which is mainly below grade and includes a service elevator.

“The property is ideal for both residential developers and owner-users looking to capitalize on Central Harlem’s strengthening market,” said James Nestor, Associate Director of Investment Sales for Ariel Property Advisors. “The conversion flexibility of the property and the central proximity to all Harlem has to offer makes this a rare opportunity for a wide range of potential owners.”

The architecturally distinct property is located within walking distance of Harlem Hospital, City College of New York, St. Nicholas Park, Columbia University’s Manhattanville Campus and the Manhattanville Factory District, as well as Striver’s Row and many neighborhood dining, retail and historic attractions.
