Two properties owned by Yosef Kohn at 1 and 3 East Funston Avenue (57.55-1-16,17) in Spring Valley were sold to Monsey-based developer 1-3 Funston Avenue LLC. The two lots, totaling .55 acres, sold for $3 million.
Mortgage financing in the amount of $1.3 million was provided by White Plains, NY-based Northeast Community Bank.
A construction loan in the amount of $3,3650,500 was also provided by Northeast Community Bank. The building loan is for a one-year term with a six-month extension option and carries a rate of prime plus 2% with an interest rate floor of 6%.

The redevelopment project includes a three-story twelve-unit condominium building on the site of two former single-family houses. The proposal to build at the site has been pending since 2021 when rezoning and numerous variances were first sought to allow the project to move forward. The Rockland County Planning Department rejected the proposal which was later approved by the Village of Spring Valley.
