Ripco Real Estate has completed the sale of the 7,668-square-foot Woolsey Station Post Office Building located at 2268 31st Street (between 23rd Avenue and Ditmars Boulevard) in Astoria, Queens for $7.35 million. The building, originally owned by Ditmars Associates LLC, a New York-based ownership group, was sold to LG Astoria LLC (LG).
Despite the COVID-19 pandemic, Ripco broker Greg Batista was able to get an estoppel from the facilities specialist which was the last item necessary to effectuate the closing.
When asked how he was able to get the estoppel, Batista stated, “Persistence. I just had to keep making the phone calls to connect to the right person. Once I connected, the people at the post office were very cooperative and helped make it happen.”
Batista and Ripco’s Todd Cooper and Mark Kaplan represented the seller. Buyer LG was not represented.
