A Private Pricing Opinion — what your apartment at Sevenberry 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.
Sevenberry is a low-rise condominium on one of the best-located corners of the Northside. North 7th Street is the street of the Bedford Avenue L entrance, one block east. Kent Avenue and the waterfront park are two blocks west. The building fills a corner at four stories, which is why it reads more like a large townhouse block than an apartment building.
It belongs to the first cycle of building after the 2005 rezoning. The DOB application was filed in November 2005, six months after the city mapped the MX-8 district, and the building was designed by Karl Fischer, whose office produced a long list of the Northside's post-rezoning condominiums. Sales opened in the fall of 2007, and press coverage at launch reported seven contracts in the first few weeks.
The sponsor sold 25 of the 27 residences between June 2008 and February 2010, per ACRIS, through the worst of the credit crisis. It held the last two, 1A and 1B, together with the YU unit, until March 2015, then sold them. Every residence is now in separate hands, and the sponsor holds nothing.
Architecture and unit composition
Fischer's four-story building wraps the corner with large windows and ceiling heights that listing records emphasize, and many units have private terraces. The top floor has four units, half the count of the floors below, and listing records market them as penthouses.
The plan is simple: seven residences on the ground floor, eight each on the second and third, and four on the fourth. Unit sizes vary widely across that stack. Ground-floor apartments are the largest residences in the building on the Department of Finance roll, and the smallest are on the second and third floors. Ground-floor units on a corner at the street trade differently from upper floors: more space and often outdoor space, less light and privacy. Ask for the floor plan and the certificate of occupancy for any ground-floor unit.
Parking is deeded, and there is roughly one space for every two apartments. Fourteen parking units serve 27 residences. Each is its own condominium unit with its own deed and tax bill. The roof cabanas are not separate condominium units, so they are held some other way, most likely as space assigned to particular apartments. Ask what conveys with a given apartment.
Building operations
A 27-residence, four-story building runs on a small budget: no doorman, a garage, a fitness room and a roof. We have no financial statements on file. Ask for the latest statements, the reserve balance and any assessment history.
At four stories, Sevenberry is not subject to Local Law 11, the city's façade inspection program, which applies only to buildings over six stories. That removes a recurring cost that the taller Northside condominiums carry. It does not remove the ordinary maintenance of a building now nearly twenty years old: roof membranes under the cabanas, terrace waterproofing and garage drainage are the likely capital items.
The tax position
Department of Finance records show a 15-year 421-a exemption on the residences (code 5113, "421A 15 YR NO CAP"). 421-a is the state program that exempted the added value of new construction from property tax for a fixed term. Here it began in 2009/10, ran at full value for eleven years, and stepped down over four. It has been zero since 2024/25. Owners now pay fully assessed taxes, and no further step-up is coming.
That matters for comparison. A newer Northside building still inside its 421-a term shows a lower tax bill today that will rise. The bill here is permanent. Compare carrying costs on a fully taxed basis before comparing prices.
Recent sales
Sevenberry trades as boutique post-2005 new construction in a prime Northside location, priced in dollars per square foot. The location near the L drives value more than the building's amenities do. Top-floor units with terraces and cabana access and any apartment that conveys with a deeded space carry clear premiums. Turnover is thin in a 27-residence building, so comparables have to come from the surrounding blocks as much as from the building itself. Index market statements to 2025, the last complete year. Unit-level transaction history is maintained in The Roebling Research Library and shared with clients during diligence.

What to know if you’re buying
The tax bill is final. The abatement ended in 2024. Use the current bill for the specific unit.
Price parking separately. Fourteen deeded spaces serve 27 apartments.
Confirm what outdoor space is yours. Terraces and roof cabanas are not separately deeded units here; they are most likely limited common elements assigned to particular apartments. Get the assignment documented in the declaration or the unit deed.
Get the governing documents. We have not reviewed the offering plan, by-laws or house rules. Pets, leasing and alterations should be confirmed from them, and from the managing agent.
What to know if you’re selling
Lead with the corner and the L. The location a block from the Bedford Avenue station is the building's strongest selling point.
Use the tax bill as a selling point. Your taxes are fully phased in; buyers comparing abated buildings are looking at bills that will rise.
Sell parking or cabana rights with the apartment if you have them. Both are scarce here, and buyers price them in.

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.
