a telling trajectory? 47 Walker Street sells on 2d floor

Oct. 24, 2008
While these two sales are not exactly comparable, they are awfully close. They would appeal to different Manhattan loft buyers because the second floor unit is said to be 500 sq ft larger, but in both cases most buyers would expect to put in money to upda

434 East 10 Street closes / way east with stairs + work to be done

Sep. 3, 2008
The Manhattan loft Unit 4 at 434 East 10 Street closed with a deed filed on August 29. There's no clearing price available yet through city records, but the asking price of $995,000 (about $641/ft for "1,550 sq ft") looks pretty darn strong to me, conside

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? fr... [Read More]

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

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

we’ve been here before / new at 160 Chambers

Dec. 7, 2007
The Manhattan loft Unit 2 at 160 Chambers Street is new to market today, without pix or floor plan (yet?) and the only web info I see is on NYTimes.com. They are asking $1.675mm and $1,500/mo for “1,500 sq ft” with “a new designer high-end renovatio

The Manhattan loft for sale at 160 Chambers Street is in contract, as is the one next door at 158 Chambers Street.

trading steps for dollars at 1 Worth

Oct. 17, 2007
Manhattan loft newly for sale at 1 Worth Street is 3 flights up the stairs, but may be more than worth it.

back story / 158 Chambers is On the Market in NYT

Aug. 25, 2007
Today's On The Market feature in the NY Times real estate section starts with another cool Manhattan loft: 158 Chambers Street #5, with some beautiful pix of this duplexed (mezzanine) lof... [Read More]

new at 43 Great Jones / too many features, too many steps?

Aug. 7, 2007
meticulous yes, but do you have to walk up? The 4th floor at 43 Great Jones Street hit the market today through Martin Eiden of PruDE, asking $2.665mm (and $1,100/mo maintenance) for “2,200... [Read More]

Tribeca tunnel & stairs discount / 135 Hudson in contract

Jun. 7, 2007
what a difference 3 blocks + 4 flights make In contrast to 100 Hudson St (where #5A is new to market this week at about $1,300/ft, without any bragging -- Olde Tribeca for $1,300/ft at 100 Hudson),... [Read More]
