Order, Supreme Court, Bronx County (Ruben Franco, J.), entered on or about July 9, 2019, which, inter alia, denied plaintiff's motion for summary judgment on his cause of action for specific performance of a contract to purchase real estate, unanimously affirmed, without costs.

Plaintiff failed to establish prima facie that he substantially performed his contract obligations and was willing and able to perform his remaining obligations and that defendants were able to convey the property (see EMF Gen. Contr. Corp. v Bisbee, 6 AD3d 45, 51 [1st Dept 2004], lv denied 3 NY3d 607 [2004]). He submitted no proof that he possessed the financial means to close the sale (see e.g. SFT Realty LLC v Banner Realty Co., LLC, 169 AD3d 615 [1st Dept 2019]). He submitted no proof that the individual defendant, who signed the contract of sale in his personal capacity, was able to transfer the property, which the record shows was owned by the corporate defendant.
