160 12th Street

The architect of record filed the new building in June 2020. The Department of Buildings approved it in March 2022 and issued a full permit in May 2025. The filing describes four stories, a cellar, 50 feet of height and seven dwelling units, with 10,718 zoning square feet. That works out to about 1,530 square feet per home on average, before halls and the cellar are taken out. That is our arithmetic, not a published unit size.

The original plan kept the existing foundations. A structural filing made in August 2022 and permitted in August 2024 records that the front and rear foundation walls were later redesigned, which required excavation. Later filings cover an elevator shaft (scaffolding permitted August 2025), plumbing (permit December 2025), mechanical heating and cooling (March 2026), and a sprinkler system (permit April 2026, amended October 2026). A pavement plan filed in October 2026 had open objections at the end of the month.

PLUTO already lists the lot as a 2025 elevator apartment building with seven units. The tax record moves ahead of construction, and no certificate of occupancy was found in this review. No unit plans, finishes or amenities have been published.

Per the offering plan filed with the New York State Attorney General (plan CD260302), the plan was submitted on August 18, 2026, as a new-construction condominium of seven residential units with a total offering price of $12,895,000. The record shows no acceptance date. The Attorney General's online record returned no data in October 2026, so these figures come from the Attorney General's plan database extract. No asking prices were found in listing records reviewed in October 2026.

Until the Attorney General accepts the plan, the sponsor cannot sign purchase contracts or take deposits or reservations, binding or non-binding; an interest list does not secure a unit.

At the average of $1,842,000 per residence and about 1,530 gross square feet per home, the plan works out to roughly $1,200 per gross square foot. That is our arithmetic, and gross area overstates what each buyer gets. Asks per square foot of sellable area will run higher once the price list is published.

Nothing can be bought yet. Read the plan once it is accepted, including the price schedule, the budget and the projected taxes.

Construction stage. The full permit issued in May 2025. Ask the sponsor for a realistic temporary certificate of occupancy date and what is held back until a final one issues.

Closing costs. In sponsor sales the buyer customarily pays the New York State transfer tax (0.4%) and the New York City real property transfer tax (1.425% above $500,000), plus the state mansion tax of 1% at $1 million and above. Use the calculators below to run your price.

Tax abatement. No abatement has been disclosed. Confirm the tax position in the plan's budget.

Sponsor control. The sponsor controls the board until enough units close to turn it over. The by-laws set the threshold.
