229 Withers Street (Ora)

The street elevation is organized as a grid of recessed windows and glass doors opening to balconies, framed by gray brick.

The recorded apartment areas include a group of homes around 605–631 square feet, larger apartments around 900 square feet, and homes exceeding 1,200 square feet.

The first-floor B residence illustrates the duplex arrangement. Listing records describe the living and dining area, kitchen, bedroom and full bathroom on the upper level. The lower level contains open recreation space, a powder room, a walk-in closet and a separate entrance, with access to private outdoor space. Its lower-level area should not be presented as an additional bedroom.

At the top, the fifth-floor A residence is marketed as a three-bedroom penthouse with a balcony and a two-level terrace.

Interior specifications in the duplex listings include oversized black-framed windows, engineered wood flooring, quartz kitchen counters and appliances from Café, Liebherr and Bosch.

The advertised service arrangement centers on a live-in superintendent, elevator access and a shared backyard. Parking is offered separately for purchase. The filing lists fewer parking interests than residences, so a space is not an automatic component of every apartment purchase.

The Attorney General accepted the condominium offering in November 2024 and recorded effectiveness in May 2025. The first amendment describes effectiveness based on three apartments in contract. That was a presale milestone; the recorded closing sequence began the following year. The building is in its initial ownership cycle, with sponsor sales establishing its transaction history.

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 $1,466/sf (floor-adjusted) across 9 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 4.2% 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 3-02866-7506; 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 accessory interests in the contract. The offering separately enumerates residential, parking and storage units. Specify which interests are included with the apartment and how each is conveyed; an advertised storage option or garage does not identify what the seller is transferring.
