The building is located within walk distance to the F, M, J, and Z subway lines. 249 East Houston Street represents a unique opportunity to buy a cash-flowing, tax class 2A property in one of the most vibrant neighborhoods of Manhattan. Buyers can capitalize on an asset that is poised to appreciate as the surrounding submarket continues to thrive, driven by strong demand, new developments, and increased popularity.
