An affiliate of Princeton Property Partners (PPP) has acquired a 100 year-old mixed-use property on Nassau Street in Princeton.  Prior to the acquisition, PPP was able to complete a lease extension with CVS Pharmacy through 2034.  PPP also plans to add value via a complete renovation of the 2^nd and 3^rd floor apartments.  “This property is an ideal candidate to move upmarket”, said PPP CEO Aubrey Haines.  “Many University affiliated graduate students, researchers and fellows want high-quality off-campus housing and it is our intention to provide beautiful living options for them”.  

“The average professor or advanced degree candidate wants to be able to walk to their office or lab.  172 Nassau Street is about a 2 minute walk to the Engineering School and is in really close proximity to almost any part of the University”, said Spencer Page, CFO/ COO of PPP.  “It also is within a 10 minute walk to about 25 different restaurants, bars and cafes.”

172 Nassau Street is a 16,000 square foot building with an Art Deco façade.  CVS occupies the whole first floor and the apartments are above.  There are laundry facilities on each floor and a large municipal parking lot behind the building. Since the original posting of this article, the renovation work has been completed and all the apartments have been occupied.
