A Private Pricing Opinion — what your apartment at Royale 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.
Royale Condominium occupies a three-story building at 190–192 8th Street, with ten residences ranging from compact apartments to duplex and upper-floor layouts. Its low-rise construction dates to the late 1980s. Balconies, skylights and roof-level outdoor space recur in the inventory.
The residential tax lots fall in Class 1A, a designation that can apply to condominiums of no more than three stories. That classification is a material feature of this building: its assessment-growth limits differ from those of larger condominium buildings, even though the association contains ten residences.
Architecture and unit composition
The building's apartment mix includes studios and larger one- and two-bedroom configurations. Smaller homes measure around 460 square feet, while recurring larger layouts are approximately 725 square feet. Some residences use more than one internal level, so interior stairs take up part of the floor area.
Balconies extend living space directly outside certain apartments. At the top of the building, skylights bring light from above and roof access adds another outdoor setting. In-home laundry is present in some residences. The street addresses belong to the same condominium, and apartment descriptions under either address refer to that shared association.
Building operations
The condominium has ten residential tax lots. The largest owner holds two of them, representing a fifth of the residential inventory. No owner controls a majority of apartments on the current DOF roll.
The Class 1A treatment concerns property assessment and is separate from an abatement; no building-wide tax benefit is recorded. The low-rise association still shares responsibility for its exterior walls, roof and common systems. Private balconies and roof-use rights can create different maintenance obligations for the apartments that have them.

What to know if you’re buying
Separate common roof access from private rights. The building has both roof access and homes advertised with their own exterior space. A balcony attached to an apartment, exclusive roof rights and access to a shared roof are different interests; the condominium documents should identify which accompanies the residence being purchased.

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.
