Manhattan Loft Guy

64 Grand Street closes UP 12% since 2006

Aug. 20, 2009
Categorized in: Loft neighborhoods / SoHo
One of these days I will do a long post about how The (overall) Market is made up of individual transactions that vary widely from The (overall) Market trend. But not today. Today the news is about a Manhattan loft that is anomalous only if your theory is

"absolute showplace" at 113 Greene Street in Soho goes for $918/ft (absolutely)

Jun. 16, 2009
Categorized in: Loft neighborhoods / SoHo
The Manhattan loft on the 4th floor of 113 Greene Street has sold twice in the last four years, in nice before-and-after fashion. Yes, "before" The Market changed (Lehman, AIG and all that other 'fundamental' stuff), but also "before" it got dressed up fr

more angst at $1,000/ft / feels like 2005 in Tribeca as contract (finally) signed

I am going to mention this Manhattan loft contract signing while my eyes are still bulging; I will update with a clearing price when (if??) it closes and the price is available. My eyes widened -- but did not bulge -- when I saw that this awfully large l

321 Greenwich closes at 5% premium over 2006 price

Feb. 20, 2009
Categorized in: Market Trends
I see that I am becoming somewhat fixated on the calendar -- in how This Year's Market compares to some prior year's market conditions. I am probably not alone in that regard. Maybe this should be called the What Year Is It? Manhattan Loft Guy thread....

16 Greene Street closes around $1,000/ft, twice

Oct. 31, 2008
Categorized in: Loft neighborhoods / SoHo
I noticed yesterday that the Manhattan loft #5N at 16 Greene Street was newly updated in our system as Sold & Closed, but no clearing price was visible yet in city records. But when I checked for #5N I saw that #4S closed there recently, with a deed filed

53 N. Moore Street #2F comes + goes with alacrity + humor

Aug. 27, 2008
The Manhattan loft #2F at 53 N. Moore Street was first offered for sale on April 4 at $3.15mm and found a contract by May 11, so the sellers must have been happy with that progress. It shows as Sold + Closed in yesterday's updates, though I see that it ac

pretty negotiable as 17 White Street #3A closes

Jul. 30, 2008
The Manhattan loft #3A at 17 White Street came to market on March 13 at $4.5mm and found a contract within about six weeks -- the kind of trajectory that often implies a deal at or close to the asking price. In this case, however, there was an 8% solution

one year to contract at 45 Walker Street

Jul. 8, 2008
The deed transferring the Manhattan loft at 45 Walker Street #4 was filed two weeks ago, ending a rather long sales effort. At under $1,200/ft for a condo with low monthly charges, this is a relative Tribeca loft bargain.

11 West 20 Street #2 closes / did they get THAT??

Jun. 20, 2008
Today's new inter-firm list of Sold & Closed includes the Manhattan loft on the 2d floor at 11 West 20 Street, which is interesting (to me, at least) for a few reasons: (a) it can be either commercial or (when "re-zoned as of right") residential, (b) it s

another Broadway odyssey / 710 Broadway (finally) closes

Jun. 17, 2008
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

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

O - d - y - s - s - e - y ends at 714 Broadway with 4th floor closing

Apr. 30, 2008
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

waiting for the final number for Steiner sale / looks like a premium

Apr. 22, 2008
Unit #2D at 257 West 17 Street (The Steiner Building) shows up today as Sold & Closed in our inter-firm data base.... The footprint is a wonderful variation on a Long-and-Narrow Manhattan loft layout....

13 Jay Street closed but much appreciated

Apr. 15, 2008
The 4th floor Manhattan loft at 13 Jay Street showed up yesterday as Sold & Closed (with a clearing price of $2.175mm). Interesting that they never dropped the price in the 4 months it took to get to contract off that $2.495mm asking price. Yet the seller

if at first ... 543 Broadway back with fewer dollars

Mar. 31, 2008
Categorized in: Loft neighborhoods / SoHo
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

16 Greene still crowded but price drops

I have removed the content of this blog post, as it comments about the current listing of another agent. For information about why, check out end of an era for Manhattan Loft Guy / a new day dawns?... [Read More]

new at 19-21 Warren Street / 2 BRs 2 baths 2d floor - it's long

Mar. 4, 2008
Unit 2E at 19-21 Warren Street (this 1999 condo conversion has the [crummy] name "Tribeca East") is a classic Long-and-Narrow, "1,602 sq ft" for $1.85mm and $1,529/mo (condo) that is new to the Manhattan loft market this weekend, offered through Barbara H

2 new on West 20 Street / building yin vs yang at 15 W 20 + 9 W 20

Feb. 18, 2008
These two new Manhattan loft listings could hardly be closer to each other. The units [at 15 West 20 Street and 9 West 20 Street] are nearly the same size, with very similar layouts. Neither brags about light or views. But the dollar differences are rathe

Sunday brunch on Duane Street? 3 open houses

Feb. 8, 2008
These 3 Manhattan lofts [at 157 + 161 + 173 Duane Street] are at very different price points, but are within a few steps of each other and have overlapping open houses on Sunday (you will have to cross Hudson Street to see all 3). Only a rabid loft fan wo

718 Broadway in the news again / #10C is back, beefier

Jan. 30, 2008
Categorized in: loft neighborhoods / NoHo
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,
