did a jazz fan or a muppet maniac buy Mingus's place at 5 Great Jones Street?

Aug. 11, 2009
Categorized in: loft neighborhoods / NoHo
The Manhattan loft #2 at 5 Great Jones Street was marketed for its character ("authentic artist" loft, 14 foot tin ceilings) and its provenance ("[o]nce the home of Jazz great Charles Mingus and the creator of Big Bird Kermit Love"). At "2,300 sq ft" on a

Categorized in: loft neighborhoods / NoHo
The Manhattan loft #3 at 21 Bond Street was sold this month (July 17, deed filed last Friday) in "bring your imagination" condition (no interior pix), and suggests that the limitation of a buyer needing 'extra' cash to fund a renovation -- like many -- ca

FSBO loft in unusual location offers artist provenance + park views

Dec. 21, 2008
The December 2007 sale of #3AB at $1,100/ft provides some hope to this seller of #3CDE, trying to sell a (nearly) "unique" Manhattan loft in a non-loft neighborhood. Any buyer will want to beat him up about the difference in The Market from one December t

716 Broadway closes after (count 'em) 126 weeks

Nov. 13, 2008
Categorized in: loft neighborhoods / NoHo
The Manhattan loft on the 2d floor at 716 Broadway boasts of many things: views of Washington Square Park, 13 foot ceilings, "huge" private terrace, and mahogany woodwork. They may not be bragging about having taken 126 weeks to sell, but perhaps they sho

if at first ... 543 Broadway back with fewer dollars

Categorized in: Loft neighborhoods / SoHo
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

sun floods, contract follows at 39 Great Jones

Categorized in: loft neighborhoods / NoHo
The Penthouse 6 at 39 Great Jones Street came to [the Manhattan loft] market just over 4 weeks ago, asking $2.675mm and $1,600/mo for "2,235 sq ft" of "authentic duplex penthouse" that "sun floods". The Market liked the sun, or the "superb" kitchen, or th

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

2 are new at 468 West Broadway / classic, no bling

Jan. 25, 2008
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

96 Grand Street contract is more grand than 184 Grand

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

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]
