Change in the building’s median $/sf over each window, adjusted to a constant-quality (average-floor) unit so it reflects price — not which floors happened to sell. (2022 marks the rate-shock inflection.) Like-for-like repeat-sale figures to follow.
The Grand Chelsea trades as a mature, mid-market Chelsea condominium rather than a trophy asset, and its pricing reflects that. Recent closings have run in the neighborhood of $1,900 per square foot, with active for-sale asking prices clustering somewhat lower — a spread typical of a building where turnover is steady and renovated units command a premium over original-condition inventory. One-bedroom residences have generally transacted between roughly $975,000 and $2.25 million depending on size, floor, exposure, balcony, and renovation quality, with the upper-floor corner and penthouse-line units at the top of that band. Larger two- and three-bedroom homes price above the one-bedroom range. The building's value proposition is location and full-service operation at a price point well below the western Chelsea new-construction condominiums, and that positioning has kept demand steady across market cycles. Pricing at The Grand Chelsea is best read at the apartment level: floor, exposure, balcony, and condition drive meaningful variation across the 157-unit stack.

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.

Sales sourced from NYC Department of Finance recorded transfers (BBL 1-00766-7502) and verified listing data. Apartment-level facts (line, condition, asking-price context) curated and cross-verified by The Roebling Team research desk. 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.
