A Private Pricing Opinion — what your apartment at Luxe 226 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.
Luxe 226 converted a three-story commercial building into a five-story condominium of ten substantial homes. The development's original inventory ranged from one-bedroom lofts to two-bedroom duplexes, with unusually large interior areas for those bedroom counts. It occupies the residential streets near McGolrick Park, on the Williamsburg–Greenpoint border.
Architecture and unit composition
Gene Kaufman was the architect of record for the residential alteration, which was permitted in May 2003 and signed off in May 2006. Architectural project records describe both conversion and expansion of the earlier commercial structure. The original shell accounts for PLUTO's 1930 date; the residential spaces belong to the later redevelopment.
At launch in 2006, the homes ranged from approximately 1,393 to 2,219 square feet. Andres Escobar received the project's design credit in contemporary development reporting. The layouts included broad single-level lofts, lower duplex accommodation and duplex penthouses, with internal stairs adding a second level to selected homes.
Elevator access extends to the upper residential floors, and selected penthouse plans have direct entry. Outdoor areas include terraces and balconies; lower homes can have garden space. Open living and dining rooms, high ceilings, central air and in-unit laundry recur in the inventory. Private storage adds capacity outside the apartments themselves.
The loft designation reflects substantial open interior space. An expansive one-bedroom plan and a two-bedroom duplex can therefore overlap in overall floor area. The split between enclosed rooms and open living space is a more useful description of these homes than the bedroom count alone.
Building operations
The condominium maintains an elevator within a ten-home conversion. Its 421-a benefit has expired, so the tax bills from the initial ownership years reflect a subsidy that no longer applies. The residential lots retain tax class 2C.
The existing building's floor area exceeds today's R6B residential allowance. Its present five-story envelope incorporates both the commercial shell and the added floors. Each residential lot has a separate owner on the current DOF roll, with no concentration above one of the ten homes.
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.

Market read. Most recent trades (2025) cleared a median $820/sf (floor-adjusted) across 1 sale. 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 0.4% 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.
