Property Description for 816 Sixth Ave
Welcome to 816 Avenue of the Americas
An income-producing mixed-use corner building in one of Manhattan's most sought-after neighborhoods: NoMad (North of Madison Square Park). Sitting at the corner of 6th Avenue and West 28th Street, this four-story building delivers $33,400/month in current in-place income: a full-floor restaurant anchor on the 1st and 2nd floors, and a passive AT&T rooftop antenna lease at $5,400/month. The 3rd and 4th floors are currently vacant - a key opportunity for the next owner to act immediately. INCOME HIGHLIGHTS: 1st & 2nd Floor Restaurant: $28,000/month $336,000/year 3rd Floor: VACANT (formerly $5,000/mo) - ready for conversion 4th Floor: VACANT (formerly $5,000/mo) - ready for conversion AT&T Rooftop License: $5,400/month $64,800/year Current Total: $33,400/month $400,800/year VALUE-ADD OPPORTUNITY: The 3rd and 4th floors are prime candidates for conversion to market-rate 2-bedroom residential apartments. Proposed architectural layouts are available showing 2BR configurations with private baths, kitchens, and living areas. Estimated market rent: $5,500-$6,000/month per unit - lifting projected gross income to $533,000-$545,000/year. DEVELOPMENT UPSIDE: Zoned C6-4X with a max FAR of 10.0, the building currently utilizes only 4.75 FAR (4,690 SF). This leaves 5,190 SF of unused air rights available for vertical expansion, transfer to an adjacent lot, or future development - a rare and valuable asset in this location. Transportation: N/R/W subway at 28th Street and the B/D/F/M at 34th Street-Herald Square. Surrounded by luxury hotels, tech companies, world-class dining, and the Flower District. NoMad continues to command premium rents and sustained investor demand.

Quick Profile
The row houses portray the world-class architecture of Greek Revival, Italianate and Georgian styles. The population is both ethnically and socially diverse, which is reflected in the restaurants and retail businesses in the neighborhood.
Western Chelsea is the center of the NYC art world, where you will find more than 200 art galleries housed in rehabbed factories and warehouses, as well as in newly-constructed buildings.
While people of many different cultures call Chelsea home, it has been a mecca over the years for people in the LGBTQ community. One census reported that as many as 22% of its residents were gay couples. Eighth Avenue is a trendy area for LGBTQ-oriented dining and shopping. Although it no longer draws the LGBTQ population that it once did, Chelsea still has many popular alternative bars.
Chelsea is primarily residential, consisting of a mixture of diverse complexes, low-rise apartment blocks, tenements, townhouses, renovated row houses, and luxury high-rises.
Chelsea is an interesting and sought-after place to live, with unique clothing boutiques, restaurants, and delis representing cultures from around the world. In addition to its quirky establishments, Chelsea has fine dining restaurants and a vibrant, hip nightlife, which adds to its allure.
Chelsea is well-served by public transportation. At least six city bus routes traverse Chelsea. There are three NYC subway routes with stops on Seventh Avenue, three on Eighth Avenue, and two more on Sixth Avenue. The 34th Street - Hudson Yards Station opened in 2015 with its main entrance in Chelsea.
