170 Fifth Avenue closes AT 2007 (maybe)

Aug. 13, 2009
Categorized in: Market Trends
If I am reading the listing descriptions and pictures correctly, the very recent sale of the Manhattan loft #5 at 170 Fifth Avenuefor $2.945mm was essentially flat since the February 2007 sale of #3 for $2,972,500. What has been preserved of the third flo

when you reach the right price ... 105 Fifth Avenue closes

Aug. 2, 2009
ice The Manhattan loft #7A at 105 Fifth Avenue closed on July 22 at $1.125mm, only a 4% discount from the (last) asking price of $1.175mm, proving that if you drop the asking price enough you don't have to discount very much to make a deal. (File this un

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

flipper flips 225 Fifth Avenue #5P quickly, poorly

Sep. 27, 2008
The Manhattan loft #5P at 225 Fifth Avenue sold for $965k in the first offering ... February 14, 2007. That original buyer did not wait too long to flip, selling (profitably, clearly) for $1.245mm with a deed filed May 1, 2008. That buyer immediately put

New School tower on Fifth Avenue at 13th Street + 74 Fifth Avenue views

Tagged with: fifth, new school, potential, tower, views
A January post about Manhattan loft #8A at 74 Fifth Avenue triggered a discussion (with links) to the proposed tower the New School (New School University?) wants to build on the east side of Fifth Avenue between 13th and 14th Streets. Curbed had a post y

such cute siblings, not twins, new at $2.1mm at 105 Fifth Avenue

Feb. 7, 2008
I assume it is a coincidence that two Manhattan lofts at 105 Fifth Avenue came to market at the same price this morning, in different lines, through different firms. Interesting counterpoints. Especially with an older sibling on the market for 4 weeks.

not lofty enough in Manhattan, smiling at Manhattan from DUMBO

710 Broadway is slimmer after holiday break

Jan. 9, 2008
Categorized in: loft neighborhoods / NoHo
The Manhattan loft 2d floor at 710 Broadway is in its toddler stage, having passed its birthday a month ago. It took only 2 weeks off the market over the break of the year but is back today, at the slightly reduced price of $2.195mm. ... My guess is that

74 Fifth back on market / ‘potential’ costs money

Jan. 8, 2008
Tagged with: architect, fifth, renovation
The Manhattan loft #8A at 74 Fifth Avenue is back on the market this morning at a new and improved price, perhaps getting this bring-your-architect project closer to a buyer. They are now asking $2.595mm and $2,234/mo for “2,400 sq ft” with the “pot

This is my sixth report on the number, price distribution and neighborhood distribution for Manhattan lofts reported as new to the market or as closed sales in the last 7 days. Clearly, this holiday week was a short week and there’s not a lot to say.

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
