Not a pretty story reported in The Real Deal (last Friday, on line) about a Manhattan loft developer default, CIT Group sues for $12M at Noho condo site. I don't have a lot of any experience running numbers on a development project, but this seems like it

This "2,500 sq ft" loft on Broadway between 18th and 19th Streets has serious old-school Manhattan loft charm: pine columns, 14 ft ceilings, wainscoting (check the pix for the size of the windows!). These sellers include an architect and they have owned

The Manhattan loft #5G at 260 West Broadway (the American Thread Building) slid through The Market this year, starting on January 8 and finishing on May 6. (Not as fast as the ten week close at 155 Hudson Street that I hit on May 28, but almost as quick a

Agents often tell sellers "your first buyer may be your best" -- I certainly have told Manhattan loft sellers that. It is one of those pieces of accepted wisdom (at least among agents) that seems to me both valid and impossible to prove. (We are never lik

In the (entirely fictional) Manual of Style for real estate agents, the phrase "museum quality" is used because (I guess) "quadruple mint" just does not zing. (The fact that few people actually want to live in a museum may mean it is used ironically, but

I came across a FSBO loft listing on NYTimes.com this week for 718 Broadway #6B, which at that time was asking a rather conventional $1.295mm for about "1,400 sq ft". It caught my eye because FSBO lofts in Manhattan remain quite rare.

I get it that some people find West Broadway in Soho circa 2008 charming, but that sentence made me laugh, ruefully. Back in the day (late 1970s, early 1980s) local residents and businesses liked being a ghost town (or even earlier, of course, before St.

The Manhattan loft Penthouse E at 176 Broadway took ten months but it did close; it also took three price drops from $1.425mm down to $945k, to finally get it done at $850k. Happy New Year (early) for that patient, humbled seller.

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

"It" is the Manhattan loft #11F at 80 Chambers Street, a 2002 conversion at the SW corner of Broadway. "It" is pretty big ("3,525 sq ft"), pretty light (36 windows, four exposures), and configured as 4 bedrooms with 3 baths. "It" was offered at $3.595mm a

About the sale of #7E at 684 Broadway: Based on this one data point, the very-local-to-Broadway-at-Great-Jones-Manhattan-loft-micro-market looks to be flat or worse, year-over-year.

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 inf

In the entire long history of 714 Broadway #4 it is surprising that I have only hit it once before February, in a Manhattan loft open house review on October 26

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

There are Sunday open houses at 4 Manhattan lofts that I have touched on in the last week or so, at 718 Broadway, 468 West Broadway, 416 Greenwich Street, 133 Mercer Street

Manhattan loft 718 Broadway #10C showed up as a new listing yesterday, asking $1.295mm ... for “1,400 sq ft” of “real NoHo loft with sunlight, dramatic city views, and 12 foot ceilings”. This unit and this building both have some history. In fact,
