sizes (each unit type offers a standard and large floor-plan option to meet residents needs). All units have
hardwood floors, high ceilings, period finishes true to the era, walk in closets, tiled bathrooms with clawfoot

revenue to the property (with an escalation clause of 4% per year).
The property has been owned for multiple generations and has undergone extensive capital improvements in
recent years including Extensive Exterior Repair/Paint (2025), New Boiler (2024), Elevator work and new
bearings (2024), New Windows & Balcony Doors Throughout (2017), New Roof (2015), New Radiator Valves

with considerable capex completed. Providing a haven for investors to focus on revenue driving
improvements, and improved operations. The current rents in place trail the market by approximately 5% to
10%, and there is additional value-add opportunity through the implementation of a utility bill back system to
residents (which is a commonly accepted charge in the marketplace in 2025).
