250 West 94th Street (The Stanton)

The building rises 15 floors per city records on a 100-foot Broadway blockfront, with roughly 277,000 square feet of residential area across 147 units — large floor plates by pre-war co-op standards. The original three-to-seven-room layouts survive in recognizable form: defined foyers, serving pantries in larger lines, and the courtyard-lit interior rooms produced by the E-plan. Upper floors carry open Broadway and side-street light, and the roof deck adds Hudson River outlooks. Select units retain decorative fireplaces per listing records. As in most early conversions, decades of owner renovations have produced a wide condition spread, from preserved pre-war detail to fully contemporary renovations — pricing tracks that spread closely.

Full-service and amenity-rich for its vintage: 24-hour doorman, live-in resident manager, a fitness room with sauna and yoga space, a landscaped roof deck with river views and a residents' herb garden, children's playroom, library/meeting room, bike room, central laundry, and private storage (waitlisted per listing records). Passenger and freight elevators run separately. Listing records note periodic assessments — standard for a centenarian co-op funding capital work — and recent cycles have funded the sustainability program (solar, composting, the "A" energy grade). The offering plan, proprietary lease, house rules, and corporate documents are on file in The Roebling Research Library.

Market read. $/sf is measured on the latest sales with reliable square footage (2025): a median $1,128/sf (floor-adjusted) across 2 sales. The building has traded as recently as 2026. Median listing discount 1.2% 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 1-01241-0052). 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 on co-ops is not officially recorded, figures shown are approximate.

• Elizabeth Cady Stanton — the suffrage pioneer lived and died (October 1902) in the Stuart Apartment House on this site, as reported by The New York Times; the cooperative took her name in 2008
• Norman Mailer — the novelist lived in the building in the late 1950s with his second wife, Adele Morales; the November 1960 party at which Mailer stabbed Morales, and his subsequent guilty plea to third-degree assault, were covered by The New York Times and remain one of the most chronicled episodes in American literary history

The block is a transit-and-quiet anomaly. The 1/2/3 express at 96th Street is one short block north — among the best subway access on the Upper West Side — yet the residential entrance sits off Broadway on a side street facing the landmarked, garden-lined Pomander Walk. Riverside Park is two blocks west, Central Park a half-mile east, Symphony Space at 95th.

The policy framework is moderate by pre-war standards. 25 percent minimum down, pets and pied-à-terre permitted, and washer/dryers allowed with board approval per listing records — a more flexible posture than the West End Avenue co-ops two blocks west. Sublet terms and any transfer fee are thinly documented publicly; we verify against the house rules and by-laws on file during diligence. Run the Co-op Board Qualification Calculator before offering.

Underwrite the capital cycle, not just the maintenance. Listing records note assessments, and a 1925 building funds facade, elevator, and systems work in perpetuity. The offset: documented sustainability investment and an "A" energy grade, which positions the building well against carbon-era operating costs. Your attorney should review the financials; we provide the corporate documents on file.

The E-plan matters when choosing a line. Courtyard exposures here are genuinely bright by interior-line standards — but they are not equivalent to the corner Broadway lines. Walk the specific unit at different hours; the spread between lines is the building's pricing structure.

Buy the provenance knowingly. The Stanton name, the suffrage-site history, and the preserved 1925 storefronts are not just charm — they are the kind of specific identity that supports resale in a corridor full of anonymous pre-war stock.

Market the name and the history with precision. Elizabeth Cady Stanton, Sugarman & Berger, the 1970 tenant-led conversion, the Mailer chapter — this building has a documented narrative most Broadway co-ops lack. Use the facts, not adjectives; the buyer pool for this corridor responds to specificity.

Lead with the express station and the amenity stack. One block to the 96th Street express plus a gym, roof deck, playroom, and library is a combination that newer buyers weigh heavily against West End Avenue's quieter but less-served blocks. State the "A" energy grade — it survives diligence.

Price to condition and line, not building averages. The spread between renovated corner lines and estate-condition interior lines is wide. Same-line history is the anchor; run the Renovation Cost Calculator against your asking strategy for unrenovated units.
