Portfolio Transaction Activity
On March 28, 2024, we executed a buyout of the 10% non-controlling interest in two of our multifamily properties located at 561 10 th Avenue and 345 East 94 th Street in Manhattan for $14.2 million in cash and the assumption of $18.0 million of in-place debt and now own 100% of the ownership interests in these assets.
In September and October 2024, we closed on the acquisition of a portfolio of retail properties on North 6 th Street in Williamsburg, Brooklyn for a purchase price of $195.0 million.
In September 2024, we entered into an agreement to acquire an additional retail asset on North 6 th Street in Williamsburg, Brooklyn for approximately $30.0 million. This acquisition is subject to customary closing conditions. The acquisition is anticipated to close in mid-2025.
Net Operating Income ("NOI") from our office, retail, multifamily, and Observatory operations were approximately 58%, 12%, 5%, and 25% of total NOI, respectively, after the effect of the 2024 acquisitions, annualized based on fourth quarter results, and the removal of First Stamford Place NOI. See Part II, ITEM 7, "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition of Results of Operations — Net Operating Income" for the definition of NOI and a reconciliation to net income, the most directly comparable GAAP measure, to NOI.
