toddler no more
When I hit the Manhattan loft on the 2d floor at 710 Broadway in January, it was in its toddler stage, having passed its listing-birthday in December (Jan 9, 710 Broadway is slimmer after holiday break). Property Shark (but not StreetEasy) reveals the information that  a deed was filed transferring this loft on June 5, for $2mm.

As I said in January about it's history

Thus, the sellers were rather negotiable off of the $2.295mm asking price, with a deal struck at $2mm even (how low did the bidding start??). If the quoted size is accurate, that is $816/ft.

I noted in January that the layout was both quirky and challenging:

"Quirky" may limit the market of potential buyers (fewer people appreciate your quirks), but "challenging" definitely limits the market. The result (at this location) is a clearing price wll below average for a Manhattan loft.

long, but not that long

This is the second recently completed odyssey on this block. 714 Broadway #4 took more than two years, as I noted in an April 30 post, O - d - y - s - s - e - y ends at 714 Broadway with 4th floor closing. (Irritating fact out of the Manhattan Real Estate Industrial Complex is that that coop sale -- for which a deed was filed almost 3 months ago -- does not yet have a publicly available sales price that I can find.)
