ABS Partners Real Estate has set its sights on redeveloping a nearly 100-year-old rent-regulated building on the Upper West Side of Manhattan. Recently, the firm filed plans with the Department of Buildings to demolish the 7-story multifamily property at 2560 Broadway, near the West 96th Street subway stop. Known as The Ancott, this 53,000-square-foot structure includes 27 residential units and 7,500 square feet of retail space, two of which remain occupied. Despite the building's rent-regulated status, many units have shifted to market-rate pricing in recent years, with a 3-bedroom fetching $6,000 per month in October 2020 and a 2-bedroom going for $4,000 in May 2021. ABS Partners Real Estate, a major player in the Manhattan real estate market, has a portfolio boasting 102 properties across 11 states, totaling over 14 million square feet. Their notable Manhattan assets include 200 Park Ave. South at Union Square, 270 Madison Ave. in Midtown, and the boutique office building at 145 E. 57th St. The firm has a history of converting rent-regulated buildings to market-rate units, often through strategic redevelopment projects. ABS Partners' track record reflects a broader trend among developers to capitalize on prime locations by transforming older, rent-regulated buildings. This practice, while lucrative, often sparks debate around affordable housing and tenant displacement. The plans for 2560 Broadway remain under wraps as the company has declined to comment on the future of the site. #RealEstateDevelopment #ManhattanRealEstate #UpperWestSide #ABSPartners #AffordableHousing #RentRegulation #UrbanDevelopment #NYCRealEstate #PropertyManagement #RealEstateInvesting https://lnkd.in/edBih9wA
