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.
1212 Fifth Avenue trades as a prewar park-front condominium at the northern end of the Fifth Avenue corridor, with location among the factors to assess in pricing it. The building offers what most of Fifth Avenue offers — direct Central Park frontage, a 1925 masonry apartment house, full staffing — in a location above the historic-district belt, and its price-per-square-foot relationship to buildings in the 80s and low 90s requires a dated, matched sales comparison.
The right comparable set is narrow and should be built from three groups: park-front condominiums along upper Fifth, converted prewar rentals of similar vintage on the Upper East Side, and the small stock of newer condominium inventory in Carnegie Hill. Cooperative sales are a weak guide here — the policy stack, the financing rules and the buyer pool are structurally different, and a per-room co-op number does not translate directly into a condominium price per foot; any co-op comparison needs explicit adjustment.
Two adjustments should be made explicitly in any analysis. First, the absence of an abatement means the headline price and the true monthly cost diverge less than they do at abated new construction, but they also start higher than buyers coming from abated inventory expect; run the carrying-cost math on the actual bill. Second, park-facing and rear-facing lines in this building are genuinely different products, and the corner exposures on the 102nd Street flank behave differently again. Line-level analysis beats a building average. Unit-level transaction history is maintained in The Roebling Research Library and shared with clients during diligence.

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 1-01607-7502; 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.
Put this data to work.
Know what’s fair before you offer — we’ll show you where each line trades, the building’s discount-to-ask pattern, and where the value sits right now.
Price to the building’s real trajectory, not a guess — we’ll position your line against its true comps to maximize the outcome.
