Belden Square · Multifamily Property For Sale · 24 Units

Northeast Private Client Group is pleased to present the Belden Square property located on 747 Belden Avenue Norwalk, CT. Previously, Virgin Atlantic’s U.S. Corporate Headquarters; Belden Square was repositioned in 2015 and completed renovations in 2017 totaling over $6.5 million in investment upgrades. The property presents a new owner with the opportunity to acquire a multifamily property with a medical office that blends a stabilized, long-term investment-grade medical tenant with a value-add multifamily component. A new owner has the opportunity to increase the existing rents to market and further grow rents through simple, low cost upgrades to unit finishes (i.e. granite countertops). Yale New Haven Hospital, an investment grade tenant, is under lease through September of 2022 with 3% annual rent bumps for a pediatric specialty care center. Yale New Haven Hospital has limited space alternatives as Norwalk limits hospital services to a very small footprint in the central business district. The 24 newly constructed apartments feature in-place rents average $350 below the immediate competition, positioned to maintain high occupancy and rent growth.
