A Private Pricing Opinion — what your apartment at The Jacksonia, the name the development carries in brokerage records. The recorded declarations use a different name: The Jackson Plaza 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.
The Jacksonia is one design built seven times and recorded as two condominiums. From the sidewalk it reads as a single development: seven identical four-story buildings in a row on Jackson Street, one architect, one sponsor, one construction schedule. On the record it is two associations. Each has its own declaration, its own board, its own budget and its own tax lot. For a buyer, the first question is which one the apartment is in. 131, 133 and 135 Jackson are Condominium II. 137 through 145 are Condominium I.
The sponsor, Jackson Plaza LLC, bought the assemblage in April 2005. The low-rise buildings on the site were demolished that year, and all seven new buildings went up to one Karl Fischer plan. Construction finished together in June 2008, but the sales did not. Condominium I closed its 32 apartments between July 2008 and July 2010. Condominium II, declared that autumn, closed its 24 between July 2010 and July 2012, a pace set by the post-2008 market rather than by the building. Every one of the 56 deeds went to a separate buyer. The sponsor holds nothing today, so the development passes the for-sale test without qualification.
The number that matters most now is the tax bill. Both condominiums carried a 15-year 421-a exemption, New York's property-tax benefit for new residential construction, which exempts the value a new building adds to the lot. That benefit is gone. The phase-down was under way by 2020/21, and the Department of Finance roll shows zero exemption from the 2024/25 tax year on. Any sale priced before that year was priced on a lower carrying cost than a buyer faces today.
Architecture and unit composition
Each building has two apartments per floor, A and B, in the same stack:
- First floor, about 1,384 square feet on the roll. The Condominium II plan pairs each first-floor apartment with basement recreation space and part of the rear yard. The roll figure includes the below-grade space.
- Second and third floors, about 750 square feet. These have balconies.
- Fourth floor, about 1,105 square feet. These have a balcony, roof terraces and attic storage.
The Condominium I roll shows the same three sizes line for line, which is consistent with a single plan. Its outdoor-space allocations should be read from its own declaration rather than assumed from Condominium II's.
The Condominium II plan warns that its square footages are gross figures and that usable floor area "may be significantly smaller." That applies to every size quoted for these buildings, including the roll figures above. For the first-floor lines, the difference between gross area and finished above-grade living space is large, so price those apartments on the floor plan.
The plan also puts most of the maintenance inside the unit on the owner. Each apartment has its own boiler and water heater, so heat and hot water are owner costs rather than common charges. Top-floor attic space is limited to storage.
Building operations
Taxes are now the full, unabated bill. The exemption roll carries 421-a code 5113, the 15-year program, on every apartment in both condominiums, with a benefit start of 2009/10 and a pre-construction base year of 2004. The exemption stepped down through the early 2020s and reached zero on the 2024/25 roll. Some Condominium I lots show a 25-year term in the roll's term field, but they carry the same 15-year code and reached zero on the same schedule. That is a data-entry inconsistency, not a longer benefit.
At the 2026/27 taxable assessments and a Class 2 rate of about 12.5 percent, our estimate from the roll is roughly $9,500 to $10,800 a year for a 750-square-foot apartment and $12,500 to $13,600 for a first-floor 1,384. Condominium II assesses slightly higher than Condominium I for the same layout. These are estimates, not bills. Use the current bill for the specific unit.
The two associations are run separately. Condominium I's purchase process runs through an admissions committee that reviews the application, interviews the buyer and then decides on its right of first refusal. Condominium II's by-laws, on file in The Roebling Research Library, give the board power to buy or lease a unit an owner has elected to sell or lease. Current fees, reserves and common charges for each condominium should come from the managing agent. No audited financial statements for either condominium are on file.
Recent sales
These are resale-only buildings. The sponsor sold out in 2012, and turnover since has been steady for a 56-unit development: four resales across the two condominiums in the 24 months to September 2026, spread across the first-floor and fourth-floor lines. The first-floor apartments with basement and yard space and the fourth-floor apartments with roof terraces carry clear premiums over the 750-square-foot middle floors. Resale pricing through 2025 tracked the broader Williamsburg low-rise condominium market. Comparisons with sales before 2024/25 need an adjustment for the tax step-up. Unit-level transaction history is maintained in The Roebling Research Library and shared with clients during diligence.

What to know if you’re buying
Confirm which condominium you are buying into. 131–135 and 137–145 have separate boards, budgets and application processes. Your contract, title report and managing-agent questionnaire should all name the same one.
Underwrite the full tax bill. The abatement ended with the 2023/24 tax year. Put the current bill, not a historical one, into the carrying-cost model, along with the apartment's own heat and hot-water costs.
Measure the first-floor apartments. The 1,384-square-foot figure includes below-grade space. Price the above-grade living area and the basement and yard on their own terms.
Expect a committee review. Condominium I interviews buyers before it waives its right of first refusal. Build that into the closing timeline.
What to know if you’re selling
Lead with outdoor space. Rear yards on the first floor, balconies on the middle floors and roof terraces on the top floor are what the plan distinguishes by floor. Market the one your apartment has.
Price against post-abatement comparables. Buyers and their lenders will see full taxes. The most useful comparables are resales from 2024/25 onward, in the same condominium and on the same line.

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.
