11/17/16

The Homes are Located Adjacent to the College’s Campus in Westchester County, NY

Five single-family homes owned by the College of New Rochelle adjacent to its campus in Westchester County, N.Y. will be offered individually via a Live Auction on Wednesday, December 14th, 2016.

Madison Hawk Partners, LLC, a national real estate firm and industry leader specializing in Structured Accelerated Sales, will conduct the one-day event on behalf of the College, which is selling the non-core assets to raise capital.

“We’re taking this step to help strengthen the academic institution’s financial footing,” said Ron Eagar, Chief Restructuring Officer and Partner at Grassi & Co., which has been charged with overseeing the restructuring and stabilization of the 105-year old private Catholic college.

“We’ve retained Madison Hawk to create and manage an auction sale process as a way to generate capital,” Mr Eagar added. “These are non-core assets of the College and we’d rather sell these properties to a user or developer than keep them on our balance sheet at this time.”

Three of the homes being offered are currently utilized as staff housing, with the other two serving as administrative space. Two of the homes are move-in ready for individual homebuyers or investors. The remaining three residences provide excellent opportunities for a builder to purchase, renovate and sell or rent the homes.

“These are desirable homes, situated on picturesque, tree-lined streets offered at very attractive prices. We’re confident that the auction process for such marketable homes will create value-added purchasing opportunities attractive to individuals, builders and investors,” said Jeff Hubbard, President of Manhattan-based Madison Hawk.
