A Private Pricing Opinion — what your apartment at AVA 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.
AVA is a 10-story condominium of nine homes on West 15th Street, between Fifth and Sixth Avenues, on a lot city records give as 1,812 square feet. Almost every floor is a single home of about 1,000 square feet, reached by a keyed elevator.
Published asks run from $1,995,000 for a one-bedroom to $3,500,000 for the top of the building. If the lowest and highest asks belong to the smallest (999 sq ft) and largest (1,421 sq ft) homes, that is roughly $2,000 to $2,460 per square foot. Listing records do not confirm that mapping, so treat the per-foot figures as a range to test against the price list.
The building suits a buyer who wants a full-floor home at a two-bedroom price and is prepared to give up amenities. Published materials list only an elevator.
Architecture and residences
INPUT is credited with the design, and JCA is architect of record, per published construction reporting. In February 2026 that reporting found the concrete frame complete and most windows installed, with facade cladding still to come.
The sales-launch description gives the mix as a one-bedroom garden duplex with a 558-square-foot backyard, seven full-floor two-bedrooms and a three-bedroom duplex penthouse with a balcony and a 278-square-foot roof terrace. One listing record describes the same nine homes differently, as eight full-floor residences and one duplex townhouse residence. Listed sizes run from 999 to 1,421 square feet; construction reporting puts the two-bedroom, two-bath layouts at about 1,000 square feet. Published finishes include oversized sound-reducing windows and in-unit washers and dryers.
The lot has a long filing history. A 2015 Department of Buildings job proposed a 10-story, 93-foot building of 30 units, and 2019 filings carried the same 30-unit count. The building now going up has nine.
Offering and pricing
Sales launched in 2026 with published asks of $1,995,000 to $3,500,000. We found no residence-by-residence price list and no Attorney General plan record. The plan's Schedule A will show the price, common charge and tax estimate for each home.
The per-foot test matters more here than in a larger building. At about 1,000 square feet, each $100,000 of price moves a two-bedroom by roughly $100 per square foot, so compare each home's ask per foot with closed two-bedroom sales in nearby new-construction condominiums before making an offer.
Local Law 97
This building is below the 25,000 sq ft threshold at which LL97 limits apply to a building on its own. It is still covered if it shares a tax lot or condominium board with buildings totaling over 50,000 sq ft; confirm on DOB’s covered-buildings list.

Sales sourced from NYC Department of Finance recorded transfers (BBL 1-00816-0054; each condominium apartment is its own tax lot).

Not all transactions cross-verify with ACRIS records — sponsor and LLC purchases sometimes record at stipulated values rather than market price.

What to know if you’re buying
Confirm the plan. Ask sponsor counsel for the accepted offering plan, its file number and every amendment, and confirm them against the Attorney General record. A sponsor may not sign contracts or take deposits until the plan is accepted.
Deposit and contract. New-development contracts typically require a deposit of 10% at signing, held in escrow, with some sponsors asking for 20%. The plan states this building's terms.
Closing costs. In sponsor sales the buyer customarily pays the New York State transfer tax (0.4%, or 0.65% at $3 million or more) and the New York City real property transfer tax (1% at $500,000 or less and 1.425% above for a residential unit), plus the state "mansion tax" of 1% at $1 million, rising in tiers to 3.9% at $25 million in New York City. On a $2.5 million home that is about $45,625 in transfer taxes before any gross-up and $31,250 in mansion tax at the 1.25% tier. Use the calculators below to run your price.
Nine owners, one elevator. In a full-floor building the elevator opens into each home, so its service contract and reserve matter more than usual. Ask how the plan's budget handles them.
Closing on a temporary certificate of occupancy. A sponsor can close on units while the building holds a temporary certificate of occupancy, renewed periodically until a final one issues. Ask what the sponsor holds back until then.
Carrying costs and abatement. No tax abatement has been disclosed. Confirm the first-year common charge and tax projection in the plan.
Sponsor identity. Reporting names the developer three ways. Ask sponsor counsel to confirm the entity signing your contract.

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.
