The Manhattan loft on the 4th floor at 60 West 15 Street was marketed as a masterpiece (to be), with the interesting come-on that "architects and designers are vying to renovate" it. At "3,133 sq ft", there's a lot of work for those architect and designer

This loft was described much more enthusiastically (with more details) than the 6th floor, plus it has many, many more windows (4 exposures) with Empire State and Met Life views -- usually premium items for a Manhattan loft. (StreetEasy has part of the li

I've been thinking about the difficulties in this market of selling a Manhattan loft that needs a lot of work. Unit #2E at 64 West 15 Street is a recent example, as it just closed (deed filed November 3). At least in this instance, there was not as big a

I will take William Grant and Russell Miller of BHS at their word at this point, that Manhattan loft #2W at 64 West 15 Street is an “airy loft [that] masterfully combines beautiful prewar details with today’s’ contemporary amenities”, as they prov

The Manhattan loft #6B at 73 Fifth Avenue is back on the market today. They are asking $3.5mm and $2,337/mo for “3,000 sq ft” of an “authentic Old World New York loft”. I won’t quibble: there are the requisite high ceilings, maple floors, oak wi

Trying to figure out the new listing #2H at 161 West 15 Street (in the Jensen-Lewis building, for you shoppers). Asking $1.949mm and $1,233/mo for "1,850 sq ft" that is very enthusiastically presented ("stunning", "one of a kind", "meticulously renovated" in an "imposing, fantastically convenient building"). Cook's kitchen with the proper proper nouns. Central air. 14 foot vaulted ceilings.

I recently stumbled across this listing on the 2d floor at 36 West 15th Street, which I hadn’t seen since January. Yikes! Still out there.
