NEW YORK CITY — Vornado Realty Trust has entered into an agreement to sell Harlem Park, a parcel of land located at 1800 Park Ave. in New York City, for $65 million. Vornado says it may also receive Brownfields Tax credits for the property. Under the Brownfields Tax Incentive, environmental cleanup costs of a brownfield (an urban site that had previous development on it) are fully deductible in the year incurred, rather than capitalized and spread over time, according to the Environmental Protection Agency. The sale of the land will result in net proceeds of approximately $62 million and a net gain of approximately $22 million. The sale is expected to close this quarter.
