An affiliate of Eldridge Capital Management provided the debt. The Roman Catholic Archdiocese of New York, which had housed its headquarters within the 20-story, 400,000-square-foot building since 1973, sold the property to Vanbarton Group for $103 million. The archdiocese has since relocated to 488 Madison Ave. The building is located within the Sutton Place submarket in Midtown Manhattan and is known locally as the Cardinal Terrence Cooke Center. Vanbarton plans to convert the property into a 420-unit multifamily property that will offer approximately 8,000 square feet of street-level retail space and more than 55,000 square feet of amenity space. Of the 420 units, 25 percent (105) will be reserved as affordable housing, though specific income restrictions were not disclosed. “The addition of 1011 First Avenue to our portfolio marks a significant step in expanding our office-to-residential conversion efforts, building on the success of nearly two decades of converting underutilized real estate and encompassing over 5 million square feet and 5,000 residences,” said Joey Chilelli, Principal at Vanbarton Group.

While rent growth will be muted for most of the year as the market continues to absorb the new supply, the dynamic will shift toward the end of 2025, putting landlords back in the driver’s seat.  Record-low new apartment starts this year, combined with steady population growth and an economic climate that favors renting over owning will boost leasing activity in the second half of the year — and may even produce rent growth for the first time since 2022. Fundamentals in play Like many other Sun Belt cities, Charlotte has been on a joyride of growth stemming from in-migration since the COVID-19 pandemic. The city’s population expanded 2.2 percent between 2023 and 2024, making it one of the fastest-growing markets in the Southeast. Another 56,000 new residents are expected to move in by the end of the year, according to research from Berkadia. The long-term forecast for population growth is even rosier: the Charlotte Regional Business Alliance forecasts the metro population will surge by 50 percent over the next 25 years, driving demand for housing.
