FLORHAM PARK, NJ – HFF announced today that it has closed the sale of 25 Martine Avenue, a 12-story, 124-unit multi-housing community in White Plains, New York.

                HFF marketed the property on behalf of the seller, a joint venture between Korman Communities and an institutional partner.  The DSF Group purchased the community for $34 million free and clear of existing debt.

Renovated in 2004, the property features studio, one- and two-bedroom units averaging 727 square feet each.  Community amenities include a fitness center, residents lounge, internet café and a 159-space parking garage.

According to Jose Cruz, “DSF has been very active in the Northeast during the last several years.  This was DSF’s first acquisition in the New York area and they did a great job of working through the transaction and closed on time.” 

                The HFF team representing the sellers was led by senior managing directors Jose Cruz and Andrew Scandalios, managing directors Kevin O’Hearn and Jeffrey Julien and associate director Stephen Simonelli.
