81 White contract / far east Tribeca condo under $1,000/ft

Dec. 19, 2007
At “1,982 sq ft” and asking (most recently) $1.75mm, the Manhattan loft #3E at 81 White Street looks like a bargain for a condo in a “classic Tribeca prewar loft building that was completely renovated in 2005”, doesn’t it? Particularly with the

perils of over-pricing / 36 White comes down again

Sep. 30, 2007
Chances are that people interested in this micro nabe (east of Church is a very different area than prime Tribeca) have seen this listing (live or on the web) when it was priced at nearly $2mm. Chances are, they rejected it as 'not worth it'. Having done that, it is hard for many buyers to take a fresh look when the price comes down, particularly when the price comes down in dribs and drabs.

you want an authentic loft? 265 Water + 35 White qualify, both new(ish)

Two new listings fit my paradigm of “authentic” Manhattan lofts, though they are very different from each other: the 3rd floor at 35 White Street and the 4th floor at 265 Water Street.
