1188 Gates Avenue presents a mixed-use investment opportunity in Bushwick, Brooklyn, featuring 4 spacious free-market two-true-bedroom apartments (spacious winged railroad layout, private bedrooms on opposite sides) and 2 ground-floor retail storefronts. The three-story property contains approximately 4,450 SF of gross building area per public record on an approximately 2,570 SF lot. Built in 1931, the property offers an existing income-producing configuration together with multiple opportunities for future repositioning and income growth. PROPERTY HIGHLIGHTS: • 4 free-market residential apartments • Each residential apartment configured as a true 2-bedroom • 2 ground-floor retail/storefront spaces • Approximately 650 SF per storefront • Approximately 4,450 SF gross building area per public record • Approximately 2,570 SF lot • 3-story low-rise brick/masonry building • Existing unfinished basement with exterior access • Residential and commercial income streams • Value-add mixed-use investment opportunity • Bushwick, Brooklyn location • Potential 1031 exchange replacement property Seller currently controls one residential apartment and one commercial storefront, providing flexibility for vacant delivery or leasing prior to closing, subject to contract terms and buyer/seller agreement. Seller's intended as-delivered underwriting assumes the owner-controlled residential apartment at $3,800/month and owner-controlled commercial storefront at $4,000/month. Based on the intended as-delivered rent structure, projected annual gross income is approximately $213,000 with estimated NOI of approximately $177,584, representing an approximately 6.35% capitalization rate at the $2,795,000 asking price.
