434 East 10 Street closes / way east with stairs + work to be done

Sep. 3, 2008
The Manhattan loft Unit 4 at 434 East 10 Street closed with a deed filed on August 29. There's no clearing price available yet through city records, but the asking price of $995,000 (about $641/ft for "1,550 sq ft") looks pretty darn strong to me, conside

The 4th floor at 543 Broadway has a long sales history and -- as of today -- a new firm and price. Shawn Felker and Denise Joseph of PruDE are now marketing this "classic Soho loft!!" of "2,200+ sq ft" for $1.995mm. I hit it in its last round of marketing

Sunday brunch on Duane Street? 3 open houses

Feb. 8, 2008
These 3 Manhattan lofts [at 157 + 161 + 173 Duane Street] are at very different price points, but are within a few steps of each other and have overlapping open houses on Sunday (you will have to cross Hudson Street to see all 3). Only a rabid loft fan wo

Categorized in: Loft neighborhoods / SoHo
All in, Manhattan loft 468 West Broadway #5G at $3mm provides much more space than yesterday’s River Lofts feature, with a lower level of finishes and (comparably) no amenities. Compared to the closed sales in the same building, #5G has slightly more sp

One of the two parallel Manhattan lofts I hit when new on July 27 (96 and 184 Grand Street) has found a buyer, with a contract signed as of yesterday. ... Both are top (6th) floor, full floor lofts. Both are all about the space and the roof rights. Both w

predicting next price drop at 135 Hudson Street

Nov. 20, 2007
The Manhattan loft #6F at 135 Hudson Street has been on the market since July 2006. It is said to be “1,400 sq ft” with tongue and groove original pine flooring and hints of work to be done (“current configuration is as an open space with three slee

(remember to check the agent websites Sunday morning to see if open house is still on) I blogged about two Grand Street 6th floor units when they were both new to the market about six weeks ago (2... [Read More]

new (quick) contract at 474 Greenwich

but how’s the market doing TODAY? Given the market jitters lately (yesterday’s “jittery” = word for the day), it may be of particular note that #6N at 474 Greenwich Street came to market on... [Read More]
