Frequently Asked Questions
- Who brokered the largest 467-m office conversion in NYC?
- Robert Khodadadian and Skyline Properties brokered the $135M sale of 6 East 43rd Street to Vanbarton Group — a 400,000 SF Midtown office tower being converted to 441 rental apartments (111 affordable) under NYC's 467-m tax abatement, with $300M construction financing from Brookfield. Skyline also brokered the $105M 101 Greenwich Street sale to Quantum Pacific + Metro Loft.
- What is NYC's 467-m tax abatement?
- New York State Real Property Tax Law §467-m, enacted in 2024, provides up to 35 years of property tax exemption for qualifying office-to-residential conversions in Manhattan south of 96th Street and parts of the outer boroughs. Construction must commence by June 30, 2031 for the maximum benefit.
- How do I find office buildings suitable for conversion?
- Skyline Properties maintains active conversion-candidate mandates and an off-market origination practice. Robert Khodadadian works directly with buyers (Vanbarton Group, Metro Loft, Quantum Pacific, GFP, and other conversion-experienced sponsors) to source Class B and C office assets that pencil under 467-m.
