17 recorded transfers, 2007–2023. Sortable and searchable below.
Co-ops are normally measured by price per room, since square footage is not officially recorded for them. This building is shown in price per square foot because most of its sales carry documented footage, which makes the sharper measure the honest one here.

Change in the building’s median $/sf over each window, from the raw yearly medians — too few standardized single-line units here to adjust to an average-floor basis, so which apartments happened to trade moves these alongside price. (2022 marks the rate-shock inflection.) Like-for-like repeat-sale figures to follow.
La Fabrique trades as a large-format Chelsea loft cooperative, and the market prices it per apartment rather than per room, because the apartments are not conventional room counts — they are floors. Share transfers recorded against the corporation since 2007 cover a wide spread of the building's lines, including 2N/S, 3N, 3S, 3NS, 4N, 4S, 4/5S, 5N, 5S, 6N, 6S, 7N/8 and 9S, with several of those reflecting combined residences. Turnover is low: most lines have traded once or twice in nearly twenty years.
The correct comparable set is the Chelsea and Flatiron loft cooperative inventory — buildings of the same vintage, on the same kind of plate, with the same board-approval friction and the same financing limits. It is not the new condominium inventory on the Sixth and Seventh Avenue corridors, whose buyers, closing timelines and carrying-cost structures are entirely different. Maintenance here is offset by commercial income and carries no J-51 benefit to lose, which makes the monthly number durable and comparatively predictable. Unit-level transaction history is maintained in The Roebling Research Library and shared with clients during diligence.
The complete recorded-sale history for La Fabrique, compiled from NYC Department of Finance transfer records and verified listing data, then enriched apartment-by-apartment by The Roebling Team research desk. Across sales with a public asking price, the building carries a median listing discount of 3.1% 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 most recent eligible transfer recorded at this building is from 2023. Our records run through August 2026; no later qualifying sale has been recorded here, which for a small or tightly held building is common rather than a gap in the data.
Sources, exclusions and how these figures are computed
Sales sourced from NYC Department of Finance recorded transfers (BBL 1-00791-0013) 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 on co-ops is not officially recorded, figures shown are approximate. 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.
