EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
Lee & Associates NYC is pleased present for sale, the student-housing asset at 41 Chenango Street in Binghamton, New York. Redeveloped in 2019, the building measures over 37,000 square feet and is positioned near the core of Downtown Binghamton.
Servicing the off-campus student population of SUNY Binghamton, the building delivers 79 beds across 20 units, 4,716 square feet of commercial space, and 5,994 square feet of common amenity space. The property offers tenants a discount to top-of- market rents, while providing a high-quality living experience that the wider market fails to deliver. The recent amenity upgrades include fitness space, a student lounge, private study rooms, as well as rare on-site parking. Additionally, the diverse unit-mix attracts both groups and individuals, widening the potential tenant base during each leasing cycle.
