Oct. 4, 2007 - 684 Broadway has a new one


Jagger lives
Many months ago I had very serious buyers learn about
Jagger's Law of Imperfect Lofts / life is compromise (sigh) (March 15) from - among other things - their interest in two units at 684 Broadway, where #7E is new to market.

#7E is asking $3.25mm and $2,255/mo for "2,600 sq ft". No details, no pix, no floor plan yet on PruDE's site, but when it hits it should be here. [fixed the link; THX Larry]

Early in the year, #5E (in primitive, needs-a-complete-build-out condition) sold for $2.495mm (a $5,000 discount to the asking price), while #3E was done ("renovated to perfection", in broker-babble; check the pix) and sold for the $3.1mm ask. #7E gets even more of the sky over the low buildings across
Great Jones Street. If it is also done, this is a very reasonable asking price.

Sandy - your link is broken. Should be here:

http://www.elliman.com/Listings.aspx?ListingID=915844&rentalperiod=

From the floorplan seems like a smaller loft than 3E and 5E. It has an extra exposure and the pictures show a better renovation than 3E which explains the higher $ per sqft.

THX for the link fix, Larry.

Looks to me like the exact same foot print as the other "E"s, with what looks liek apretty deluxe renovation job (superior to #3E, based on the pix). At this height, they get east facing windws also.

That "reading room" is in the former elevator shaft, btw.

Very reasonable asking price, IMO.

It is a bit smaller - I found the 3E floorplan is still on the Corcoran web site : http://www.corcoran.com/property/FloorPlan.aspx?Region=NYC&ListingID=879670

You can see from the location of the support beams that 7E is short the space in the south west (lower right) corner. I'd say about 300 sqft. short.  I also remember 5E as being larger but I can't find the floorplan. It definetly had more windows on Great Jones street. Also explains why this is presented as "2700" while 3E and 5E  were "3100".

Still a very cool loft.
