A Private Pricing Opinion — what your apartment at Jackson Foundry Lofts. The recorded name is Jackson Foundry Condominium 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.
Jackson Foundry Lofts is a conversion, and that sets it apart from most of the condominium stock on these blocks. Across Jackson Street, 135 Jackson Street is seven new four-story buildings from 2008. Jackson Foundry is two existing commercial buildings at the Manhattan Avenue corner, converted to 21 apartments in the same years. The Jackson Street building was enlarged in the process. A 2006 filing removed the walls and roof of a one-story extension down to its foundations, and another covered scaffolding for a chimney demolition. The Department of Buildings filings describe the existing buildings only as commercial.
The conversion shows up in three places a buyer will notice. The tax benefit was J-51, the city's program for rehabilitation and conversion, rather than the 421-a used for new construction. The apartments vary more in size and layout than a new building's stack would. And the lot carries more floor area than current zoning allows. PLUTO records a floor area ratio of 2.95 on an R6B lot, where the residential maximum for a new building is 2.0. A new building on this lot could not be built to the same size today.
The sponsor, Sivan-Riverside, LLC, sold all 21 apartments between October 2007 and February 2008, months before the Department of Buildings signed off the work. Every apartment went to a separate buyer, and the sponsor holds nothing. The building passes the for-sale test without qualification.
Architecture and unit composition
The condominium is two buildings with different stacks. Per the Department of Finance roll:
- Jackson Street building, 16 apartments. Five on the first floor (1A–1E), four each on the second and third (A–D), and three on the fourth (4A, 4C and 4D). The first-floor apartments are the largest, at about 1,045 to 1,663 square feet. The second and third floors mix apartments of about 724 to 803 square feet with others of about 1,085 to 1,092. The fourth floor runs from about 728 to 1,334.
- Manhattan Avenue building, five apartments. Two on the first floor (1F and 1G), one each on the second and third (2F and 3F, about 672 square feet), and 4G on top at about 1,481 square feet, the largest apartment in that building.
The roll figures are gross areas. For a conversion, layouts follow the old structure, so read the floor plan for column positions, window exposures and any below-grade space before comparing apartments of similar size.
The house rules add a few conditions that matter for renovation and furnishing. At least 75 percent of each apartment's floor area outside kitchens, bathrooms, closets and foyers must be covered with rugs or equivalent sound-reducing material unless the board agrees otherwise. Window treatments must have beige backing on the side facing the glass. Barbecuing is barred in the apartments, on terraces and on the roof deck except in areas the board designates. Noisy work is limited to weekdays from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m.
Building operations
Taxes are now the full bill. The exemption roll carries code 1920, the J-51 program, on every apartment. The benefit started in 2011/12 on a 14-year term. The two buildings carry different base years and eligible percentages: the Jackson Street apartments show a 2006 base year and 93 percent eligibility, the Manhattan Avenue apartments a 2007 base year and 86 percent. The exemption was stepping down by 2020/21 and is zero on the 2025/26 roll. J-51 also has an abatement component, a credit against the tax bill based on the certified cost of the work. The city's historical J-51 file shows one on these lots beginning in 2009/10 and 2010/11, but that file ends in 2018. Whether any abatement remains is not in the open data. Check the current bill.
At 2026/27 taxable assessments and a Class 2 rate of about 12.5 percent, our estimate from the roll, before any remaining abatement, is:
- about $5,600 to $6,900 a year for the Jackson Street apartments of roughly 725 to 800 square feet
- about $8,400 to $9,200 for the Jackson Street apartments of roughly 1,090 square feet
- about $11,300 to $14,200 for the Jackson Street first-floor apartments
- about $6,700 to $13,900 for the Jackson Street fourth floor
- about $10,300 to $20,200 for the Manhattan Avenue apartments on floors one to three, and roughly $30,000 for 4G
The Manhattan Avenue apartments assess well above Jackson Street apartments of similar size. These are estimates, not bills.
Leasing and moves are managed closely. Per the leasing requirements on file, a lease goes to the board with a sublet application, a request to waive the right of first refusal and a credit check. The tenant pays a $250 application fee, a $250 move-in fee and a $500 refundable move-in deposit, and the owner pays matching move-out charges when vacating. Moves run 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. on weekdays with a week's notice. Renters must carry insurance and show proof each year. A lease rider bars short-term and transient rentals and allows the board to collect rent directly if an owner falls behind on common charges.
Recent capital filings are small. A façade repair permit was issued in 2013, and in 2025 the condominium took a permit under the city's Limited Drainage System Repair Program to install an ejector pump and backwater valve. Local Law 11 façade inspections apply only to buildings taller than six stories, so these four-story buildings are outside the program. Budgets, reserves and common charges should come from the managing agent. No audited financial statements are on file.
Recent sales
This is a resale-only building. After the sponsor's four-month sellout, ACRIS records about 26 arm's-length resales since 2010, never more than five in a year. In the 24 months to September 2026 there was one arm's-length resale. The other deeds in that window were transfers between co-owners or into trusts. The larger first-floor and top-floor apartments trade at the top of the building's range. Because the J-51 exemption reached zero on the 2025/26 roll, sales before that year were priced on a lower tax bill. Unit-level transaction history is maintained in The Roebling Research Library and shared with clients during diligence.

What to know if you’re buying
Know which building the apartment is in. The condominium is one regime, but the Manhattan Avenue apartments assess well above comparable Jackson Street apartments. Price the tax difference.
Underwrite the full tax bill. The J-51 exemption has ended. Ask the seller for the current bill to confirm whether any abatement credit remains.
Read the plan against the layout. Converted buildings produce irregular apartments. Compare apartments on floor plans, not on roll square footage.
Expect a board review. Leases require board approval and a waiver of the right of first refusal, and the application acknowledgment on file also refers to a sales application and a possible interview. Confirm the purchase process with the managing agent and build it into the timeline.
What to know if you’re selling
Lead with the conversion. Most condominium supply on these blocks is new construction. The converted structure and the corner position are this building's difference. Show the floor plan and the building's history.
Price against post-exemption comparables. The most useful comparables are sales from 2025/26 onward, in the same building and of similar layout.
Have the leasing rules ready. Investor buyers will ask. The approval process, fees and the ban on short-term rentals are all documented.

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.
