A Private Pricing Opinion — what your apartment at The Driggs Haus 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 Driggs Haus is a small corner condominium that took four years to build and five years to sell. The sponsor bought the site in 2013, demolished the three-story building on it, and filed for a five-story, 19-unit building that June. Permits came in September 2014. Construction ran long; the concrete frame was topped out and still wrapped in 2016, when marketing began. The declaration was recorded and the Department of Buildings signed the job off in the summer of 2017.
Closings started in August 2017. Fourteen apartments closed by the end of 2017, most of the rest by 2019, and the sponsor's last apartment, the 1A, closed in February 2022, with its final parking space following that May. Every apartment deed runs to a separate buyer. The sponsor holds nothing.
Its position explains most of its appeal. It sits at Driggs and Graham, a short walk from McCarren Park on the line between Greenpoint and Williamsburg, and at 19 apartments it is one of the smaller elevator condominiums in that stretch.
Architecture and unit composition
Five stories with a simple plan. The second through fourth floors repeat the same five lines. A and C are the compact apartments at about 590 to 610 square feet, E is about 794, and B and D are the two-bedroom-scale lines at about 895 to 914. The fifth floor sets back behind terraces and holds three penthouses of about 890 to 970 square feet. The single first-floor apartment, 1A, is the largest in the building at about 1,216 square feet.
The ten parking spaces are separate tax lots, taxed as Class 4 property, and all ten are owned together with an apartment. A buyer who wants a space should expect to buy one from an owner rather than from the sponsor.
Building operations
There is no real-estate tax exemption on any lot in this condominium in the Department of Finance records reviewed, which run from the 2020/21 roll forward. The apartments pay full Class 2 taxes. The building was permitted in 2014 and completed in 2017, so it fell between two versions of 421-a. The records do not show whether a benefit was ever sought. The later 421-a(16) homeownership option outside Manhattan required an average assessed value of no more than $65,000 per unit at the first assessment after completion. This building's current assessments run above that figure, but they do not show whether it met the test at completion, and the records reviewed do not show why no benefit appears.
At current taxable assessments and a Class 2 rate of about 12.5 percent, our estimate is roughly $7,900 a year for a 592-square-foot A-line apartment, about $12,200 for a 914-square-foot D-line, about $14,400 for the largest penthouse and about $18,700 for the 1A, plus roughly $800 a year for a parking space at the Class 4 rate. These are estimates from the roll, not bills. Check the current bill for the specific unit.
The roll shows no exemption, so no 421-a phase-out is scheduled there; check each apartment's current tax bill, and expect taxes, common charges and assessments to change over time. Nothing in the ACRIS record points to regulated affordable units inside the condominium. The managing agent, the current budget and the reserve should be confirmed at offer stage.

All 19 apartments sold as first sales from the sponsor between 2017 and 2022, and resales began in 2020. The penthouses and the 1A set the top of the building; the compact A and C lines set the bottom. The one recorded resale in the last 24 months, in April 2025, was a C-line apartment with a parking space. With no sponsor stock, resales price against each other and against new construction nearby; the roll shows no exemption, but each apartment's tax bill should be checked. Unit-level transaction history is maintained in The Roebling Research Library and shared with clients during diligence.

Market read. Most recent trades (2025) cleared a median $1,757/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 -0.0% over ask.

What to know if you’re buying
Underwrite the actual tax bill from day one. The roll shows no exemption; confirm on the unit's bill. Without a benefit there is no scheduled phase-out, though taxes still change with assessments and rates.
Parking is resale-only. The sponsor sold its last space in 2022. If a space matters, target a listing that includes one, and make sure the contract lists it as its own lot.
Read the plan for the outdoor space. Balconies and the penthouse terraces are limited common elements or part of the unit depending on the declaration. Confirm what conveys.
What to know if you’re selling
Your comparables are the same line on another floor. Floors two through four repeat the same five lines, so the cleanest comparison is your line's last sale, adjusted for floor and outdoor space.
Include the parking lot if you own one. Only ten exist. A unit with a deeded space reaches a wider set of buyers.

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.
