“We’re not buying in midtown or the Upper East Side or the Upper West Side,” Azi Mandel, principal at Treetop, told Crain’s. “We’re looking for properties we can improve for the middle class, which we believe is an underserved market in the city.”

Ronda Rogovin of Eastern Consolidated brokered the deal.

Treetop is marketing a 420-unit rental building in Rego Park, 62-60 99th Street, asking $150 million. It bought that building in 2013 for $85.3 million, its first purchase in Queens. The first also recently bought an eight-building Manhattan multifamily portfolio for $38 million from Normandy Real Estate Partners and Westbrook Partners, part of their “Three Borough Pool” assemblage.
