The line premium — where you sit sets the price

Same-4BR+ prices, time-controlled to today’s dollars, split by line — exposure, light, and layout vary stack to stack within a building.

Bar = today’s 4BR+ price for that line; right column = premium vs. an average 4BR+.

The 4BR+ trajectory

Every recorded 4BR+. The building trades thinly year to year, so the story is the long arc, not any single year: 4BR+s traded at roughly $30M in 2011–14; there are too few recent sales to state a current price (the all-history median is about $30M).

Each dot is one recorded sale, by close date and price; the line is the median for each year. Click any dot to jump straight to that sale below.

Sales sourced from NYC Department of Finance recorded transfers (BBL 1-01497-0001) and verified listing data. Co-op apartments are priced by unit type (bedroom count) rather than per square foot — square footage isn’t officially recorded for co-ops, and room counts carry some agent-entry inconsistency, so bedroom type is the reliable spine. Non-arms-length transfers and storage/parking are excluded; line and floor premiums are time-controlled to today’s pricing. Where transaction volume is too thin to support a figure, none is shown.
