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.
The sponsor's sellout is fully documented in ACRIS and it is complete. All seven residences were conveyed by the sponsor entity to seven separate, unrelated purchasers between February 25, 2016 and September 8, 2017. Every one of those transfers is recorded as a condominium deed under ACRIS property type SC — the direct evidence that this is a condominium in which apartments transfer by deed, and not a co-op corporation embedded in a condominium wrapper. No sponsor inventory remains, and no single entity holds the building.
Since the sellout, four further deeds have been recorded — resales in 2017, 2020, 2021 and 2025 — bringing the total to eleven unit transfers across roughly ten years. For a seven-unit building, that is a genuinely active record: most residences have traded at least once, and several have traded twice.
Pricing at 155 East 79th Street resolves at the residence level, not the building level. With seven duplexes of differing size, floor and outdoor space, and with the top of the stack carrying terrace, there is no meaningful building average — the spread between the lowest duplex and the penthouse position is wide enough that any single per-foot figure would mislead in both directions. The relevant comparison set is not the surrounding prewar cooperative stock, which trades on a different basis entirely, but the small group of post-2010 Upper East Side condominiums built at boutique scale. Unit-level transaction history is maintained in The Roebling Research Library and shared with clients during diligence.
The complete recorded-sale history for 155 East 79th Street, 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 1.9% from the last ask — a recurring negotiation gap worth pricing into any offer or listing strategy here.

The retrade record
Lines that have changed hands more than once in the public record — the building’s appreciation arc, apartment by apartment.
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.

Sources, exclusions and how these figures are computed
Sales sourced from NYC Department of Finance recorded transfers (BBL 1-01508-7502) 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.
