Jan. 7, 2008
Categorized in: loft neighborhoods / NoHo
I hit Manhattan loft #4E at 57 Bond Street when it was new, noting that it was a new development in 2003 and probably sold then for about half of the current asking price of $3.45mm and $1,712/mo (condo) for "2,125 sq ft". It is back on the makret today a

The Manhattan loft #6B at 73 Fifth Avenue is back on the market today. They are asking $3.5mm and $2,337/mo for “3,000 sq ft” of an “authentic Old World New York loft”. I won’t quibble: there are the requisite high ceilings, maple floors, oak wi

Categorized in: On The Market

guessing a board turndown #2J at 808 Broadway came to market in March at $1.25mm (maintenance is $1,500/mo) and after two little price drops found a buyer and a contract in early June off of $1.12... [Read More]
