Rare Opportunity in New York City

A extremely well-located fee position (the land under an existing building) can be purchased in Midtown Manhattan. This would be a perfect opportunity for a very long-term buyer; either a large organization or wealthy family that is interested in a very safe investment for generational wealth preservation purposes or in order to diversify a large portfolio.
This is a low-yield situation, as any land deal is, but to be able to find a deal like this in Manhattan is not a common thing.

Brian French has asked for an update on the NYC market, six + months later

The general consensus for New York City's commercial real estate market has been that since the market fundamentals were sound at the beginning of this downturn, NYC would prove to be resilient compared most other parts of the US.

New York City Real Estate Market Drifting Sideways
It appears to be an uncertain time in the market as landlords and tenants take step back to see how the credit markets impact the local leasing and investment market.
