Aug. 3, 2009
The Manhattan loft conversion at 158 West 23 Street started marketing in mid-2007, offering floor-through lofts of "1,865 sq ft" that were offered as open spaces with full kitchens and (usually) (only) 1.5 baths. I.e., not exactly white boxes, but with sp

the importance of managing expectations

Aug. 1, 2009
I am led to these ruminations by a lovely loft with a potentially over-the-top renovation in a prime Manhattan loft neighborhood priced around $1,000/ft. There is nothing in the pix or floor plan to suggest that anything that is stated in the glowing list

don't sneeze at 130 West 17 Street contract

Mar. 6, 2008
I hit on (picked on?) # 9S at 130 West 17 Street when it was new to market in September (130 W 17 9S is new + really going for it), asking $3.2mm (since dropped to $2.995mm) for "2,000 sq ft" and the "possibility" of buying roof rights. I wondered then --

price drop at 258 Bway reno project

Sep. 24, 2007
I still can't easily grasp the layout here, but 258 Broadway #3G became easier (less expensive) to own this weekend, when the price dropped $120k. It was $1.62mm ($1,464/mo) for “1,800 sq ft” of... [Read More]

right buyer climbs up (and down) at 123 Prince, gets steamed

Jul. 5, 2007
Categorized in: Loft neighborhoods / SoHo
#1R at 123 Prince Street was marketed as “ideal live/work for the right buyer”, and that person has now come forward. In a world of too many “unique lofts” this one has an u... [Read More]
