Deal Story: 216, 218 & 220 East 179th Street

IPRG ANNOUNCES $3,735,000 SALE OF 216, 218, 220 EAST 179TH STREET IN MOUNT HOPE, BRONX

NEW YORK, N.Y. – July 31, 2026 – Investment Property Realty Group (IPRG), a leading New York-based commercial investment firm, has successfully closed the sale of 216, 218, 220 East 179th Street, a development site located in the Mount Hope section of the Bronx, for $3,735,000.

The transaction was negotiated by Steve Reynolds, Brian Davila and John Loch who represented both the sellers, Moortee Budhai, Mohaned Shameer, and Vincent Lee, and the buyer, Aron Stark and Yitzchok Salamon.

The assemblage consisted of three adjacent development sites owned by four separate ownership groups, including two families who were no longer on speaking terms. Each ownership group had different priorities, attorneys, closing timelines, and life estate considerations. Despite additional title challenges after one owner passed away in intestate, IPRG aligned all parties, identified the right buyer and closed the transaction at $106 per buildable square foot, above prevailing market value.
