November 6, 2017, New York, NY – Meridian Investment Sales, the commercial property sales division of Meridian Capital Group, sold the 60-unit multifamily building located at 1695 East 21^st Street in the Midwood neighborhood of Brooklyn to S.

The multifamily property is in close proximity to the B and Q subway lines at the Kings Highway station, and a short distance from the BM1, BM3, and BM4 local and express bus routes.
