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.
The SoCa Building prices as boutique northern-Tribeca loft product: real plates, a low unit count, minimal staffing, and a full unabated tax bill. Per square foot it belongs in the band occupied by converted loft condominiums between Canal and Houston rather than the band set by full-service Tribeca new construction, and that distinction should drive the comparable set.
Three adjustments matter. First, unit sizes range from roughly 1,400 to nearly 3,500 square feet across only twelve homes, so building averages mislead — price the plate and the exposure. Second, common charges spread a superintendent, an elevator, a masonry corner facade and a rooftop pool across twelve owners, but the count alone does not establish higher per-foot carry than a larger loft building; compare actual budgets, charges and included services. Third, the absence of any abatement means the monthly number is fully loaded from day one, which is an advantage in underwriting even though the starting figure is higher than abated inventory nearby.
Comparables should come from converted loft condominiums in Hudson Square, northern Tribeca and western SoHo of similar vintage and scale — including, carefully, the several separate buildings on this same tax block. Unit-level transaction history is maintained in The Roebling Research Library and shared with clients during diligence.
The complete recorded-sale history for The SoCa Building, compiled from NYC Department of Finance transfer records, with apartment-by-apartment detail from The Roebling Research Library. Across sales with a public asking price, the building carries a median listing discount of 1.3% from the last ask — a recurring negotiation gap worth pricing into any offer or listing strategy here.

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.

The latest qualifying transfer in our compiled records for this building is from 2024. The dataset is current through September 2026; that does not by itself establish that no later sale occurred.
Sources, exclusions and how these figures are computed
Sales sourced from NYC Department of Finance recorded transfers (BBL 1-00595-7502; 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.
