A Private Pricing Opinion — what your apartment at 113–117 Sterling Place (Sterling Atrium) would likely sell for today, what it costs to sell, and what you’d walk away with — reviewed personally against condition, exposures, renovation quality, and the competition actually on the market.
Most North Slope co-ops are brownstones divided into floor-throughs or prewar elevator buildings. Sterling Atrium is neither. It is two 1920 buildings, a four-story structure at 117 and a low two-story one at 113. Both were built for non-residential use and converted together into loft-like apartments in the early 1980s. The layouts show it: mezzanines over main living areas, duplexes, roof decks, rear yards, fireplaces throughout, and a central atrium corridor at 117.
The conversion is well documented. Sterling & Fleetwood Company took title to 117 Sterling in 1981, per ACRIS. It filed a cooperative plan first offered on July 16, 1982, when both buildings were vacant and under substantial rehabilitation. The plan created 27 apartments on 10,000 shares and relied on the J-51 program's twelve-year exemption for conversions of non-residential buildings. The sponsor deeded both lots to Sterling Atrium Corp. in February 1984.
The co-op is often listed as two buildings, one at 113 and one at 117. It is a single corporation, with one board, one underlying mortgage and one share schedule, spread across two tax lots. Buyers comparing listings "at 113" and "at 117" are buying into the same co-op.
Architecture and unit composition
The offering plan divides the 27 apartments into 8 at 113 and 19 at 117. The plan's schedule marks which units have a mezzanine, a patio or rear yard, roof access, or a recreation room in the cellar. Every apartment was planned with a wood-burning fireplace except #18 and #19 at 117. City filings since then show apartments being combined and reworked. DOB records a renovated duplex on the fourth and fifth levels at 117, roof decks added or legalized in the 2000s, and a third-floor duplex terrace at 113. The Department of Finance's current count of 30 apartments, against 27 offered, has not been reconciled in the public record. Get the current share allocation for the specific apartment.
Both buildings are outside the historic districts, so exterior work does not need LPC approval.
Building operations
The corporation carries an underlying mortgage on both lots. In March 2022 it consolidated its existing debt with Webster Bank, National Association, into a single $3.0 million lien, with about $2.49 million in new money, per ACRIS. It replaced a 2012 consolidation of $1.2 million. The public index does not show the maturity or rate. Get both from the financial statements, along with reserves and any assessment history. No financial statements for the corporation are on file in The Roebling Research Library. The building has no doorman. Staffing and superintendent arrangements should come from the managing agent.

Sales sourced from NYC Department of Finance recorded transfers (BBL 3-00942-0061) and verified listing data.

What to know if you’re buying
Underwrite the 2022 refinancing. A $3.0 million underlying mortgage spread over 27–30 apartments is moderate. Its maturity and rate set maintenance risk, and neither is public. Get both, plus the reserve balance, from the financial statements.
Check what the space legally is. The plan says recreation rooms and mezzanines may not be used for sleeping. If an apartment is marketed with an extra bedroom in either, check the certificate of occupancy and the alteration history.
Confirm the share count for your apartment. The offered count (27) and the city count (30) differ. Your contract should rest on the corporation's current share schedule, not a listing's description.
Assemble a full board package. This is a small co-op. Expect a full financial package and an interview. Ask the managing agent early about the sublet policy, pied-à-terre and purchases in a trust or LLC, parents buying for children, any flip tax, and the financing ceiling. Resale liquidity depends on those rules.
What to know if you’re selling
Sell the loft volume. The mezzanines, duplex stacks, fireplaces and private outdoor space are what set this building apart from North Slope brownstone co-ops. Photograph and measure them.

How to read the facts on this page. Items attributed to an offering plan describe the building as it was offered at that filing — unit mix, square footage, the amenity program as planned. They are not a statement about how the building operates today. Tax and compliance figures are sourced separately to current City records and carry their own dates. House rules, staffing and fee policy can change by board resolution without any public filing: treat every policy line here as a starting point for diligence and confirm it with the managing agent. Where this page compares one building or neighborhood to another, that is our analysis of the recorded record — it names the measure, the period and the sample it rests on, and it is an observation about medians rather than a prediction about any particular apartment.
