Manhattan Loft Guy

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

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,

limits of the loft form / 448 Greenwich St

Jan. 29, 2008
Categorized in: One Bed Wonders
Manhattan loft 448 Greenwich Street 5th floor has been on the market since June, staring at $2.05mm but holding at $1.995mm since September. Said to be “1,300 sq ft”, it is not quite big enough to be a One Bed Wonder, though it is suitable only for a

133 Mercer Street is new / giant windows don’t show Chrysler or Woolworth

Jan. 23, 2008
Categorized in: Loft neighborhoods / SoHo
Manhattan loft 133 Mercer Street 3rd floor is new this week, asking $1.925mm and $1,750/mo for “1,700 sq ft” with “giant” windows but only 1 bath. The location is prime SoHo, just below Prince Street; the footprint presents some issues.

new at 16 Greene Street is classic but may be crowded

Jan. 22, 2008
Categorized in: Loft neighborhoods / SoHo
Manhattan loft #4S at 16 Greene Street is marketed without an even “approximately” for square feet, but looks to be roughly 17 x 80 feet (an irregular Long-and-Narrow with 2 windows front and 2 back). They are asking $1.55mm and $712/mo with a descrip

Sunday open houses at Manhattan lofts at 4 Lexington Avenue, 236 and 150 West 26 Street, 9 No. Moore Street, 252 Seventh Avenue, 142 Duane Street, 476 Broadway, 130 Watts Street ranging from $1.8mm to $2mm

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

157 Duane also back from holidays

Jan. 8, 2008
Manhattan loft on the 4th floor at 157 Duane Street was on the market from late October into December, took off for most of December and is back today, still at $1.895mm and $1,200/mo for “1,700 sq ft”. That’s a pretty big 1 bedroom loft ... in a Lo

price change (eventually) does the trick at 24 E 20

Jan. 8, 2008
Among the Manhattan lofts listed as In Contract as of Monday is 24 East 20 Street #4, which dropped in price from $2.895mm to $2.695mm after I touched on it last in an October open house review. ... My April comment about price was less than prescient: “Asking $2.995mm seems hardly out of line, given the size and “custom” kitchen and baths, while the maintenance is a paltry $1,150/mo.”
