Brooklyn-based Terra Developers<\/a> has made a $28 million residential redevelopment play for 500 Columbus Avenue on Manhattan\u2019s Upper West Side.<\/p>\n

The 35,300-square-foot mixed-use building was sold to Terra by longtime owner CKMR Corporation<\/a>, formerly Sloan\u2019s Supermarkets, according to property records<\/a> filed Friday.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The property rises five stories at the northwest corner of West 84th Street and Columbus Avenue, just one block west of Central Park. Its ground-floor retail is anchored by a Gristedes<\/a> supermarket, above which sits a dozen apartment units that have been vacant for 30 years, BKREA<\/a>\u2019s Bob Knakal told Commercial Observer.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Knakal, the founder of BKREA and the exclusive listing agent for the property, said 500 Columbus Avenue\u2019s residential spaces are well positioned for conversion into condominiums. An additional vertical expansion upon the 10,217-square-foot corner lot is possible, according to the BKREA listing.<\/p>\n

Yevgeniy Lvovskiy, CEO of ZHL Group<\/a>, confirmed the purchase on behalf of Terra, but did not disclose Terra\u2019s plans for the site. The transaction was financed by a $25 million loan arranged by Newmark<\/a>\u2018s Max Ralby, Holden Witkoff, Niv Shahmoon and Dante DiStefano with Derby Copeland.<\/p>\n

ZHL previously represented Terra and other investment partners in the $27.6 million purchase<\/a> of a Long Island City, Queens, redevelopment site in 2024.<\/p>\n

The building at 500 Columbus Avenue was last sold in the 1970s to an entity of Sloan\u2019s Supermarkets, founded by the Sloan and Meyer families. CKMR now manages legacy assets across New York City. Lucia Nuzzi-Meyer served as CKMR\u2019s authorized signatory in the recent transaction. Representatives for CKMR could not immediately be reached for comment.<\/p>\n

Additional retail tenants at 500 Columbus Avenue include Park West Laundromat and a shoe repair shop.<\/p>\n
