Remaining Lots Off 33 North Airmont Acquired By Brooklyn-Based LLC

Montebello LotsYitzi Hager, through GP 33 N. Airmont Rd, LLC has purchased two more lots on the border of the Village of Montebello and the Town of Ramapo just off 33 North Airmont Road. The purchase price for the two lots was $2,216,667. The seller was Solomon Menche. The two parcels total 2.22 acres and consist of vacant non-residential land according to the Real Property Transfer Report.

In December 2022, Hager closed on two other adjacent lots (55″08-1-13, and 55:-8-1-14)in the same subdivision. Those lots total 2.26 acres. Hager paid $2,216,667 for those lots.

In March of 2023, Hager purchased lots 12 and 15 of the same subdivision. In this acquisition, Hager acquired lots 10 and 11.

The land is zoned LO-C (Laboratory Office-Campus District).

Hager is based in Brooklyn, NY. His company Cornell Realty Management is a broad-based real estate development company. Hager established his firm by partnering with larger players – such as Hudson Realty Capital, Madison Realty Capital and L&L Capital Partners. He has been involved in several controversial projects in Brooklyn, and in recent times has been the subject of claims of fraudulently transferring millions of dollars from an entity affiliated with a bankrupt Williamsburg hotel project to shield the money from the property’s creditors, according to a trustee for the creditors.

Hager also lost his stakes in two high-profile properties to bankruptcy sales, according to the Real Deal.
