181 Monroe Street is a seven-residence, four-story condominium plan on a 25-by-100-foot lot in Bedford-Stuyvesant, filed with the Attorney General in May 2026 at $7,158,996. That is an average of about $1.02 million a home. The plan has no acceptance date, so no unit can be reserved or contracted. We found no listing, sales site or unit-level price.
The city's records disagree about what is on the lot. PLUTO lists it as vacant land with no building area. Department of Buildings filings from 2026 describe a four-story building with seven dwelling units, and a September 2026 filing lists zero existing units and seven proposed. A demolition permit was filed on the lot in 2018. The likeliest reading is a building at or near completion that has no certificate of occupancy yet, so the city's land-use file still shows a vacant lot. We did not find the new-building job, and we did not find a certificate of occupancy.
Construction and residences
The lot is zoned R6B and R6A across a split. The sponsor entity is 181 Monroe Ave LLC and the plan name is The Monroe Luxury Condominium. The architect, the developer and the interior design are not documented in the records reviewed. Unit sizes, layouts, finishes, outdoor space and amenities are not public. The plan will set them, along with the budget for common charges and taxes.
Sidewalk-shed and scaffold permits are active on the lot as of October 2026, and a violation is cited on one of the filings. That points to ongoing exterior work.
Offering and pricing
Per the offering plan filed with the New York State Attorney General (plan CD260172), the plan was submitted May 8, 2026 for seven residential units at a total offering price of $7,158,996. The record shows the same initial and current price, no acceptance or effective date and no amendments. The sponsor is 181 Monroe Ave LLC.
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.
No asking prices exist yet. At an average near $1.02 million, most homes would sit at or just above the $1 million line where the state mansion tax begins.

What to know if you’re buying
Confirm what the building is. One third-party listing record, last updated in 2017, describes the address as a seven-unit rental building. The Attorney General plan describes new construction, and the city's filings show no existing units in September 2026. Ask the sponsor to confirm that the building is unoccupied and that no unit is leased.
Wait for acceptance. Nothing is binding before the Attorney General accepts the plan. Price and unit mix can change by amendment.
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. On a $1.02 million home that is about $18,600 in transfer taxes and $10,200 in mansion tax before any gross-up. Use the calculators below to run your price.
Certificate of occupancy. Closings follow a certificate of occupancy, usually a temporary one. Ask what the sponsor holds back until a final one issues.

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.
