The Industry

The exterior's industrial reference comes from its materials and proportions. GreenbergFarrow describes steel-plate cladding, a basement parking facility, fitness amenities, and both common and private rooftop terrace cabanas. The structure was designed as a condominium; the industrial expression is a design reference, not evidence of a former factory use.

Large windows and open kitchen arrangements are recurring interior features. Apartment configurations range from smaller one-bedroom homes to larger multi-bedroom residences and upper-level homes with outdoor space. In-unit laundry is a recurring feature, while individual renovations have introduced differences in kitchens, baths and storage arrangements since the building opened.

The architect's original project description used a lower apartment count than present city records. DOB's signed new-building filing identifies 75 residential units, the figure used here (PLUTO records 74). That distinction matters in a building whose condominium also contains numerous separately classified nonresidential lots: a total lot count is not an apartment count.

Recent residential transactions include homes around 700 square feet and substantially larger apartments above 1,500 square feet. Some upper-level homes combine larger interiors with private outdoor areas. Smaller homes also trade on upper floors, so position near the roof does not by itself identify a large apartment.

An attended lobby and resident superintendent support the building's daily operation. The amenity package includes a gym, playroom, landscaped courtyard and roof deck. Bicycle storage, refrigerated package storage and parking add practical facilities beyond the common recreation rooms.

The common roof and private rooftop areas serve different functions. Shared deck access belongs to the building's amenity program, while a private cabana or terrace depends on the rights attached to a particular home. A purchase description should distinguish the apartment's own exterior area from a shared roof photograph.

The condominium includes both residential and commercial tax lots. Residential apartments are class 2, whose assessment growth has no statutory cap. Commercial classification elsewhere within the condominium does not change the residential apartment's own tax classification. The building-wide zoning line likewise describes the combined development, including its mixed-use context.

The inactive 421-a status makes historical tax bills a poor proxy for future ownership costs. The original benefit's start date and term remain useful history, but a buyer should model the apartment using its current billed position. The distinction is particularly relevant when comparing a seller's long period of ownership with a new purchase today.

Recent sales

Recent closings at this building, from The Roebling Research Library. Prices are the transfer amounts recorded with the NYC Department of Finance; apartment-level detail is checked against the building’s own file in The Roebling Research Library before publishing.

Market read. Most recent trades (2026 to date) cleared a median $1,129/sf (floor-adjusted) across 3 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 2.8% from the last ask — a recurring negotiation gap worth pricing into any offer or listing strategy.

Sales sourced from NYC Department of Finance recorded transfers (BBL 4-00438-7501; each condominium apartment is its own tax lot). Apartment-level facts (line, condition, asking-price context) curated and cross-verified in The Roebling Research Library. Not all transactions cross-verify with ACRIS records — sponsor and LLC purchases sometimes record at stipulated values rather than market price; square footage from recorded condo declarations and offering plans.

Identify what travels with the apartment. The building has parking, storage and private rooftop areas, but the presence of those facilities does not attach every one of them to every residence. The contract description should identify any separately conveyed lot or assigned exclusive-use area alongside the apartment itself.
