Unit #1003 at 236 West 26 Street (The Capitol) is for sale for the second time this year. I wonder what happened to make an August buyer an October seller....

City records show this unit changed hands on August 16 for $1.8mm (off an asking price of $1.695mm, so there must have been competition there). It is for sale again since Oct 17 through Corcoran at $1.845mm (much less than a break-even price, netting expenses) and $1,347/mo, for "1,686 sq ft".

another architect special
I am trying to remember if I have ever seen a loft described as "architect-ready" before; it Si an interesting locution. The meaning is clear: buy this baby above $1,000/ft and then put another $100k to $300k to fix it up. The kitchen and baths are said to be "renovated", but the kitchen has a pretty strong do-it-yourself look to me.

building history
A large 7th floor unit sold in March for $2.75mm (above ask), with "2,717 sq ft" -- but that one was beautifully done. My buyers who learned about Mick Jagger were just starting their search when they saw that one. (March 15: Jagger's Law of Imperfect Lofts / Life is Compromise (sigh))

A small unit ("850 sq ft") on the 11th floor sold in January for the $995k asking price.

Unit 1003 has the benefit of high floor views and is its own best comp. That said, repeating a sale above $1,000/ft for architect-ready space may be a bit of a stretch. Their best bet will be to find the people this seller evidently out-bid on her August closing.

Open House Sunday Oct 28 from 2 - 4 PM

<p>There is nothing that touches these for just lazing around at home. Bar sleeping I don’t take mine off now that its getting colder, they are not quite as stiff as they were when they first arrived but still extremely comfortable. It would be nice if they had a little more arch support but other than that I’m very pleased. I am finding a nice <a href="http://www.buddyugg.com/"><strong>cheap ugg boots</strong></a>!</p>
