An Upper East Side mixed-use property at 1854 Second Ave., also known as 300 East 96 St., along the Second Avenue subway construction corridor, has been acquired for $9.8 million.

There was a "competitive bidding war" for the property, Marcia Rose Yawitz, a principal, senior director at Eastern Consolidated, said in a statement. The sale price of "$726 per square foot was well beyond the asking price," she said. The real estate group managed the sale of the property.
