The eight months it took to sell that Manhattan loft straddled the Lehman + AIG + miscellaneous crap = chaos turn of The Market, but it did sell -- around 67% of the original asking price. Now an upstairs neighbor is pushing the envelope a bit, in newly o

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

Oct. 24, 2008

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

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

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.

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

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]
