The Fitzgerald trades in the middle-to-upper band of South Harlem prewar-conversion condominiums. It sits above the small rehabilitated tenements on the side streets and below the full-service new construction along Frederick Douglass Boulevard and the park-front product on Central Park North. Resale depth is good for a 46-unit building, with several arm's-length sales in a typical year. The building's best numbers come from the top-floor residences with terraces and from the large first-floor duplexes.
Two adjustments matter when pricing against older sales. Sales before 2022 were underwritten against a partly or fully abated tax bill, and sales from 2022 onward were underwritten during the phase-out. A buyer should price against today's unabated carry. Price by line and floor, not by the building average: the eight-per-floor middle floors and the four-per-floor top floors are different products. Unit-level transaction history is maintained in The Roebling Research Library and shared with clients during diligence.

The retrade record
Lines that have changed hands more than once in the public record — the building’s appreciation arc, apartment by apartment.
Every recorded sale
Sort any column; filter by unit or keyword. Prices are the recorded transfer amount at the NYC Department of Finance. Every sale sits in one of three states: counted in the building’s medians and trend; shown but excluded as a non-arms-length or nominal transfer; or shown and ⚑ flagged for review — a possible duplicate filing or an extreme $/sf outlier, held out of the statistics pending manual verification rather than allowed to move them.

Sources, exclusions and how these figures are computed
Sales sourced from NYC Department of Finance recorded transfers (BBL 1-01923-7501) and verified listing data. Apartment-level facts (line, condition, asking-price context) curated and cross-verified by The Roebling Team research desk. Not all transactions cross-verify with ACRIS records — sponsor and LLC purchases sometimes record at stipulated values rather than market price. Storage, parking, and commercial units are excluded from all figures. Floor- and line-level $/sf are time-controlled (each sale measured against the building’s going rate at the time of sale) and expressed at today’s pricing, so they isolate the floor or line premium rather than blend two decades of market movement.
