Change in the building’s median $/sf over each window, on a floor-adjusted basis — standardized to the building’s average floor, so it reflects price rather than which floors happened to sell. This is a different method from The Roebling Index, which publishes plain medians and applies no floor adjustment; the two are not interchangeable. Floor adjustment standardizes for floor only. It does not control for condition, size, exposure, renovation or the mix of what happened to trade. (2022 marks the rate-shock inflection.) Like-for-like repeat-sale figures to follow.
1080 Madison has traded continuously since its 1982 sellout, and the arc of its ownership is itself informative. The original sponsor sale went heavily to offshore holding companies alongside individual purchasers, a common structure for early-1980s Manhattan condominium sellouts. Two unit lots passed to the City of New York through the Commissioner of Finance in 1989 and 1993 — tax proceedings in the early-1990s downturn — and both returned to private ownership. Since the mid-1990s the building has traded as a conventional, liquid Upper East Side condominium, with recorded transfers in every recent year including 2024 and 2025.
Pricing here is a dollars-per-square-foot conversation, and the correct comparable set is narrow. The pre-war cooperatives that surround it — on Madison, on the side streets and on Fifth — have different economics, different financing rules, different buyer pools and a board. The right peers are the small number of Upper East Side condominiums, and the premium 1080 Madison commands over the co-op stock is a tenure and liquidity premium, not a finish premium.
Within the building, floor and line drive everything, and combinations mean square footage varies far more than the A/B plan suggests. The upper stack, the combined homes and the penthouse level are separate markets from the lower A/B floors and should be underwritten separately. Unit-level transaction history is maintained in The Roebling Research Library and shared with clients during diligence.
The complete recorded-sale history for The Residence on Madison, compiled from NYC Department of Finance transfer records, with apartment-by-apartment detail from The Roebling Research Library. Across sales with a public asking price, the building carries a median listing discount of 4.5% from the last ask — a recurring negotiation gap worth pricing into any offer or listing strategy here.

Every recorded sale
Sort any column; filter by unit or keyword. Prices are the recorded transfer amount at the NYC Department of Finance. Every sale sits in one of three states: counted in the building’s medians and trend; shown but excluded as a non-arms-length or nominal transfer; or shown and ⚑ flagged for review — a possible duplicate filing or an extreme $/sf outlier, held out of the statistics pending manual verification rather than allowed to move them.

Sources, exclusions and how these figures are computed
Sales sourced from NYC Department of Finance recorded transfers (BBL 1-01493-7501; each condominium apartment is its own tax lot). Apartment-level facts (line, condition, asking-price context) curated and cross-verified in The Roebling Research Library. Not all transactions cross-verify with ACRIS records — sponsor and LLC purchases sometimes record at stipulated values rather than market price; square footage from recorded condo declarations and offering plans. Storage, parking, and commercial units are excluded from all figures. Floor- and line-level $/sf are time-controlled (each sale measured against the building’s going rate at the time of sale) and expressed at today’s pricing, so they isolate the floor or line premium rather than blend two decades of market movement.
