What is an off-market real estate transaction?

An off-market transaction is a private real estate sale that occurs without public advertising or MLS listing. Skyline Properties specializes in these confidential deals, allowing sellers to maintain privacy while connecting with qualified buyers through our exclusive network. This approach is ideal for high-net-worth individuals and institutional investors seeking discretion.

What is a ground lease and how does it work in NYC?

A ground lease is a long-term arrangement (typically 99 years in NYC) where a landowner leases land to a tenant who develops or uses the property. The tenant pays rent for the land while owning any improvements. Robert Khodadadian and Skyline Properties are leading experts in ground lease structuring, helping both landowners monetize their assets and developers secure prime Manhattan locations at reduced upfront costs.
