A Private Pricing Opinion — what your apartment at Liberty Court 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.
Liberty Court at 200 Rector Place is the largest condominium in Battery Park City at 548 units.
That scale is the starting point — as the largest-BPC-condominium at 548 units, it carries an institutional footprint no other building in the neighborhood matches. The size pays a view dividend at the top of the tower, where the top-floor amenity suite with Harbor / Statue of Liberty views stands among the most celebrated amenity-floor configurations in BPC. Underpinning both is a full-service luxury operational infrastructure that a building of this size can sustain.
Architecture and building operations
The 1987 design produced a 44-story condominium with 548 units — the largest condominium in Battery Park City. The top-floor amenity suite carries unobstructed Harbor and Statue of Liberty views.
Operations: 24-hour doorman; concierge; fitness center; spa; landscaped roof terrace; private storage; top-floor amenity suite with Harbor / Statue of Liberty views.

Common charges plus real estate taxes, combined into one monthly figure the way New York condominium listings show them. Add a mortgage payment for the monthly outlay. The split into common charges and taxes comes from the listings that also give the annual tax, a different sample, so the two lines need not add up exactly to the combined median; a tax abatement can hold taxes below the full amount until it expires. A summary of recorded sales and listings, not a current bill; charges change.

The latest available FISP filing classified the facade as Safe — no repairs were required at that inspection. Facade inspections run on a fixed five-year cycle; future inspection, repair, and any assessment decisions remain building-specific.
How to read this, and where it comes from
QEWI = Qualified Exterior Wall Inspector — the licensed engineer the city requires to sign the report (the independent expert, not the managing agent).
Penalties shown are amounts DOB assessed against filings on record across 2005–10 to 2025–30. The FISP dataset does not record whether they were paid, contested or remain open, so treat the figure as history rather than a current balance and confirm the building’s standing with the managing agent.

Market read. Most recent trades (2026 to date) cleared a median $1,146/sf (floor-adjusted) across 10 sales. Floor-adjusted means each sale is restated to a constant mix of floors, so the figure can differ from the plain median of the sales listed above. Median listing discount 2.6% from the last ask — a recurring negotiation gap worth pricing into any offer or listing strategy.

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.
