CHESTER—Keller Williams Realty First in New York reported that two of its commercial agents with KW Commercial—Joseph Distelburger and Silvio Perez—recently received the New York State Commercial Association of Realtors Hudson Valley Chapter’s Creative Dealmaker Award for 2024
The award was cited by the Hudson Valley Chapter of NYSCAR for the agents’ work in facilitating the sale of Eastgate Business Park in Goshen, which is comprised of seven buildings totaling 83,000 square feet of space on 21 acres right off exit 124 of Route 17. The 1031 exchange transaction closed for $11.2 million to an undisclosed investor with a large portfolio.
Distelburger said that KW Commercial was first retained to bolster leasing at the property. The firm eventually brought Eastgate Business Park from 50% leased to 75% leased. The sales deal was complicated by the seller’s considerable bank debt, along with a slowdown in the office market due to the Covid pandemic.
“Suffice it to say, this was a very tricky deal to put together on all sides,” Distelburger said. “The seller needed to get out. The buyer did not have all the cash he needed in his 1031 and the bank did not want to allow anything but a full payoff of the loan.” He added, “After much consideration and back and forth between the seller, buyer and bank we were able to effectuate the sale.”
