Having visited both 2006 and Franklin Street in Tribeca on Wednesday (Aug 5, 155 Franklin Street crashes past 2006 to close up 28% (since 2000)), a Manhattan loft that sold more than 3 years ago around $850/ft caught my eye. It is in prime loft-ville, jus

155 Franklin Street crashes past 2006 to close up 28% (since 2000)

Aug. 5, 2009
The Manhattan loft #3S at 155 Franklin Street (the Sugar Loaf) was one of only five lofts in Tribeca that closed in June, per recent articles in The Real Deal Trouble in Tribeca. For a seller who started so far from The Market in October, these folks caug

9 Murray Street #8W closes at just over $1,000/month / neighbor does faster (is higher better??)

Aug. 6, 2008
It is not often that I can talk about a Manhattan loft sale in terms of dollars per month, but this one at 9 Murray Street is just too good to pass up. The bonus angle is that a next door neighbor had a very different experience, closing a week earlier, p

shaving some dollars off a whole lot of wonderful space at 152 Franklin Street

This is one Manhattan loft listing about which there is no suspicion about the finishes that are described but not depicted. No thought that maybe the Japanese glass and terrazzo floors in the sleek baths might not be so hot ... no doubt at all. This has

90 Franklin is new, mint, flipping

Feb. 15, 2008
90 Franklin Street was a Manhattan loft condo conversion that sold originally in May 2000. #2N was probably bought then at the original asking price of $775k and has been sold twice since then. I can’t tell from the listing description when all the mint

156 Franklin bites a 9% bullet

Feb. 3, 2008
I hit The Manhattan loft on the 5th floor at 156 Franklin Street when it was new to the market two months ago ..., noting the (anticipated) 4 years worth of appreciation, when it was asking $2.195mm and $1,700/mo for "1,700 sq ft" that is "newly renovated

149 Franklin contract / from Halloween to Christmas

Dec. 22, 2007
Asking $3.85mm and $1,933/mo (deductible? see below) for “3,150 sq ft” [149 Franklin Street #3] is said to be “absolutely splendid” with high ceilings and “glorious” light. This is prime Tribeca, between Varick and Hudson. This is a wonderfull

more appreciating appreciation / 156 Franklin is new (improved)

Dec. 3, 2007
The Manhattan loft on the 5th floor at 156 Franklin Street is on the market as of this past weekend, asking $2.195mm and $1,700/mo for “1,700 sq ft” that is “newly renovated”. Clearly, the loft has been renovated since the current owners bought it
