108 Third Avenue

One Ten Third is contemporary architecture with a recognizable signature — a 21-story glass tower whose blue-and-green curtain wall, composed in a Mondrian-inspired grid, makes it one of the more identifiable modern buildings on lower Third Avenue. The floor-to-ceiling glass is the interior story: the homes are flooded with light, and the upper floors enjoy open exposures over a neighborhood that stays low around them.

The residences are modern in layout — efficient, light-filled plans designed for contemporary downtown living, ranging from studios and one-bedrooms to larger two-bedroom and combined homes, with the most desirable apartments on the higher floors where the views and light open up. This is move-in-ready, low-maintenance living in the heart of the East Village, which is precisely what draws its buyers.

One Ten Third operates as a full-service condominium. As a condominium, ownership carries the flexibility the form is known for — financing latitude, pied-à-terre and investor ownership, and a purchase that clears through a right-of-first-refusal rather than a co-op board package and interview. Subletting and resale are governed by the condominium's bylaws; buyers should review the bylaws and house rules for specifics, but the structural advantages of condominium ownership — and the faster, lighter closing path — apply here.

With roughly 77 to 84 residences, One Ten Third produces a steady flow of resales — a tower of this size typically turns over several homes in an active year, concentrated in the studios and one-bedrooms that dominate the mix. Pricing tracks the East Village condominium market: value set by floor, light, exposure, and condition, with the higher-floor view homes carrying the premium. Our /sales record for the building is tied to its tax lot and reflects recorded transfers as they post; for current value we benchmark a specific unit against comparable East Village and downtown condominiums rather than building-wide averages.

The condominium structure is the practical advantage — flexible financing, pied-à-terre and entity ownership, and a faster, lighter purchase than a co-op. Within the building, floor and exposure are the value drivers; the upper floors with open light and views over the low-rise East Village are the scarce, premium inventory, and the floor-to-ceiling glass is a defining feature. The location is the long-term anchor: Union Square's transit hub, the L train, NYU, and the full breadth of the East Village's restaurants, bars, and shops are all within a short walk. For buyers who want modern construction and a low-friction purchase in a high-energy neighborhood, this is a strong, liquid option.

A resale here markets on modern construction, the distinctive glass facade, floor-to-ceiling light, and — for the upper floors — open views that are rare in the low-rise East Village. Benchmark to other contemporary downtown condominiums rather than to pre-war co-ops; the buyer wants modern systems and a low-friction purchase. The condominium closing path is faster and more predictable than a co-op's, which is itself a selling point. Present the home to its strengths — light, views, and turnkey condition — and price it against the active East Village condominium comparison set.
