Manhattan Loft Guy

2 closings at 36 West 15 Street / one was pushing it

Mar. 12, 2009
This loft was described much more enthusiastically (with more details) than the 6th floor, plus it has many, many more windows (4 exposures) with Empire State and Met Life views -- usually premium items for a Manhattan loft. (StreetEasy has part of the li

quick sale at 20 East 17 St

May. 20, 2008
The Manhattan loft on the 7th floor at 20 East 17 Street came to market on March 10, in pretty much the same market uncertainty as today. It took all of 17 days for terms to be agreed upon and a contract to be signed, and shows up on today's Sold & Closed

The 7th floor at 20 East 17 Street is new to market this week through Steven Cohen of Corcoran, asking (only) $2.3mm and $1,509/mo (condo) for "2,200 sq ft". With top kitchen + bath finishes, 12 foot ceilings, a real fireplace and views of the Empire Stat

105 East 29 Street drops price

Jan. 17, 2008
I beat up on the Manhattan loft on the 9th floor at 105 East 29 Street a bit when it came to market ... in what I see (in retrospect) is a new-to-market-and-’going-for-it’ series. ... In that post I discussed a recent sale in the building near this pr

sweet + quiet at 840 Broadway

Nov. 8, 2007
The Manhattan loft newly for sale at 840 Broadway is a drool-worthy combination of light, views and space.

new at 116 W 14 / where are the ceilings?

Oct. 5, 2007
Categorized in: new this week
#8N at 116 West 14 Street is new to market today, a condo loft asking $1.995mm and $1,527/mo in taxes and common charges for "2,000 sq ft". Other than noting that this is triple mint, Samara Heafitz of Corcoran is not doing any bragging here. (Just 2 interior photos.)

you want an authentic loft? 265 Water + 35 White qualify, both new(ish)

Sep. 26, 2007
Categorized in: what makes a loft a "loft"
Two new listings fit my paradigm of “authentic” Manhattan lofts, though they are very different from each other: the 3rd floor at 35 White Street and the 4th floor at 265 Water Street.

105 E 29 9th fl is new this weekend + going for it

Sep. 23, 2007
$1,200/ft coop loft, but why? The 9th floor at 105 East 29 Street just came to the market, asking $3.75mm and $2,500/mo for "3,000 sq ft", which is a pretty nice premium for a coop at 29... [Read More]
