A Private Pricing Opinion — what your apartment at The Kimberly 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.
The Kimberly is a common Yorkville type done well: a 1963 twelve-story rental building, converted to a cooperative in 1971, with balconies and terraces on a large share of its apartments and a garage in the basement. The plan is efficient. When the building converted it had 95 apartments on a 12,160-square-foot lot, eight per floor above the street level, and they ranged from studios to two-bedroom, two-bath layouts.
The outdoor space is what sets it apart from its postwar neighbors. At conversion the building's engineer counted 55 terraces across 95 apartments. The rear street-level apartments open onto patios on the garage roof, the four corner lines on floors two through ten have balcony terraces, and the setback at the eleventh floor gives each of the four corner apartments an 11-by-27-foot terrace. That is a lot of private outdoor space for a building at this price level, and it explains why the corner lines trade differently from the rest of the stack.
The second point is liquidity. ACRIS shows a steady run of share transfers to separate buyers since the early 2000s, with sales recorded in every year. That record gives a buyer comparable evidence and gives a lender a history. The building is not designated and not in a historic district, so window, facade and rooftop work needs no LPC approval. It still needs the Board's approval, review by its consulting architect, and any DOB permits the scope of work requires.
Architecture and unit composition
The building is a reinforced-concrete frame with masonry interior walls, clad in white brick. The entrance off East 80th Street is framed in black granite, per the engineer's report in the offering plan. The plan describes central air conditioning with fan-coil units. Under the current house rules, each shareholder is responsible for maintaining and replacing the fan-coil unit in their own apartment, and building staff handle only the annual vacuuming and filter changes. Buyers should inspect the unit's age and condition the way they would inspect an appliance.
The apartment layout at conversion was:
- Street level: seven apartments — two studios, three one-bedrooms and two two-bedroom, two-bath units. The rear apartments have patio terraces on the garage roof
- Floors 2–10: eight apartments per floor — four one-bedrooms, two two-bedroom, two-bath units and two studios, with balcony terraces on the four corners and an 18-foot balcony on the front E line
- Floor 11: four one-bedrooms and four studios, with the four 11-by-27-foot setback terraces
- Penthouse (12th floor): four one-bedrooms and four studios; only the front E line has a balcony
Apartment combinations since conversion (ACRIS records lines such as 1G/1H, 4G/H, 11A/B) mean the current count of separately owned apartments is below 95. The plan's original floors were oak block over the concrete slab. Current house rules require carpet over 80% of the floor area (excluding kitchens, baths, closets and terraces) or approved sound-isolation underlayment when floors are replaced.
Building operations
Underlying mortgage. An underlying mortgage is the loan the cooperative corporation itself carries on the building. Shareholders pay for it through maintenance. Here the mortgage was consolidated with Webster Bank on April 1, 2022 at $6.0 million, including $1.25 million of new money, per ACRIS. The maturity date and interest rate are not in the public index. Ask the managing agent for both, together with the current reserve balance.
J-51 history. The historical J-51 file records one J-51 abatement starting in 1993 on $120,800 of certified alteration cost, a 14-year term at 90%. It was fully used by the 2003 tax year. No J-51 exemption or abatement appears on the FY2021–FY2027 rolls, so there is no expiring benefit to model. The building does receive the city's cooperative and condominium abatement on the current abatement record. That credit depends on each shareholder's primary-residence eligibility, and a buyer should confirm it for the specific apartment.
The garage. The 17-space garage is a real asset in this part of Yorkville. Spaces go to shareholders from a waiting list, a shareholder gives up the space on sale or sublet, and it does not transfer with the apartment. Do not price a space into an offer.
House rules worth knowing before contract. Moves are allowed Monday through Thursday, 8:30 a.m. to 4 p.m., with a $1,000 move deposit from both buyer and seller. Alteration plans go to the building's consulting architect, the shareholder pays the review fees, and there is a $2,500 construction deposit. Work hours are weekdays 9 a.m. to 4 p.m.

Sublet and pied-à-terre policy
A condominium owner leasing a unit and a co-op shareholder subletting are different rules, and a building-wide rule is different from a restriction on one apartment. This is the building's rule; confirm it for the specific apartment.

Recent sales
The Kimberly trades as a postwar Yorkville cooperative and is priced per room. Within the stack, three variables drive price: whether the apartment has private outdoor space, the corner exposures, and combined apartments. The eleventh-floor setback terraces and the corner balcony lines sit at the top of the range. Interior studios and unrenovated one-bedrooms are the value tier. The 1.5% seller-paid flip tax belongs in any seller's net-proceeds math.
Turnover is steady for a 95-unit building. ACRIS shows share transfers every year since 2004, including a run of estate sales, and the cooperative corporation itself sold a corporation-held apartment in June 2026. Measured against 2025, the last complete year, the building sits in the mid-market tier of postwar Upper East Side cooperatives and below prewar stock of similar size. Unit-level transaction history is maintained in The Roebling Research Library and shared with clients during diligence.

What to know if you’re buying
Board package and interview. Sales and sublets both need Board approval. Expect a full financial package and an interview, and confirm the current debt-to-income and post-closing liquidity requirements with the managing agent before you bid. Listing records report 80% financing. Confirm whether the Board applies a stricter test to buyers who finance at that level.
Price the terrace, not the floor. Two apartments on the same floor can differ materially in price because one has a corner balcony and the other has none. Confirm exactly which terrace belongs to the apartment in the proprietary lease. Terraces must stay white, and no planters or structures may be built on them.
Read the fan-coil unit. You own the in-apartment HVAC unit. Get its age and condition before contract.
Entity purchases. Trust and LLC ownership are not documented in the materials on file. Ask the managing agent before structuring the purchase around either.
Confirm the mortgage terms. The 2022 consolidation raised the building's underlying debt. Ask when it matures and whether the rate is fixed.
What to know if you’re selling
Budget the flip tax and the move deposit. The seller pays 1.5% at closing to 222 East 80 Corp., plus a $1,000 move-out deposit.
Lead with the outdoor space and the documents. Terraces sell the apartment. Board packages move faster when the buyer's side receives the house rules, the financial statements and the sublet policy up front.
Know the sublet math before you list. If you are weighing a sublet instead of a sale, the one-year ownership requirement, the Board's discretion over renewals and the size-based fee all apply. Sublessees may not keep dogs.

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.
