Maybe the city School Construction Authority was gearing up for the start of classes with its $21 million purchase of a building in Fort Hamilton.
The deal was the priciest in the city amid a light week of investment sales involving mid-market properties between $10 million and $30 million.
The seller was developer Tim Ziss, who sold the property for $6 million more than he shelled out in 2017. A couple of years ago, he flipped a building to the SCA for $12 million more than what he had paid eight months earlier.
In all, four mid-market properties traded last week across the city for $59 million combined, a sharp fall-off from the $121 million of properties that traded the week before. Three of the properties were in Brooklyn — including two in Boerum Hill — and one was in the Bronx.
Here are more details of sales recorded in the third week of August.
1. Tim Ziss — also known as Efthimios Zisimopoulos — sold the 13,800-square-foot building at 8802 5th Avenue in Fort Hamilton for $21 million. The parcel underneath spans 21,600 square feet. The School Construction Authority was the buyer. Ziss bought the property in 2017 for $15 million. In 2019 Ziss sold a nearby Nathan’s Famous to the SCA for $25 million, having paid $12.25 million for the building months earlier, according to the Brooklyn Daily Eagle.
