A Private Pricing Opinion — what your apartment at One Striver’s Row 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.

One Striver’s Row joins a restored five-story corner building to a slate-gray contemporary addition that rises above and wraps around the older structure. Almat Group redeveloped the existing building and an adjoining truck-garage site into fourteen residences and ground-floor commercial space. Re-created cornices and restored masonry preserve the older street frontage beneath the new upper floors.

The corner position at West 139th Street places the condominium directly beside a historic-district boundary. Its own tax lot is outside the district, an important distinction for a building whose historic façade and modern addition are both central to its appearance.

Architecture and unit composition

Michael Ivanhoe McCaw designed the redevelopment; Norman Cox appears as architect on the 2005 alteration filing. That filing describes a seven-story building with fourteen dwellings. Construction reporting in 2006 documented the addition approaching completion, with individual apartment closings following in 2007.

The residences include one- and two-bedroom homes, larger three-bedroom layouts and duplexes. Ceiling heights vary from approximately nine and a half to twelve feet. Garden duplexes extend into lower-level recreation areas, while the penthouse incorporates two terraces. Upper-floor glass and the older building’s masonry window openings produce different light and exposure conditions across the condominium.

The lower duplexes have outdoor space at garden level. Their recreation areas should remain distinct from legal bedrooms when describing the accommodation. The upper terraces offer a separate outdoor configuration, with exterior space adjoining the upper residential floors.

Building operations

A shared landscaped roof deck supplements the private outdoor areas. The building also has a virtual-doorman system, package space and bicycle storage. Apartments have central air conditioning and in-unit laundry.

The 421-a benefit remains active on the 2027 assessment roll under a twenty-five-year program that began in 2009. The two commercial units have a separate tax classification from the residences. Residential ownership is dispersed: the largest owner holds one of the fourteen apartments.

Sales sourced from NYC Department of Finance recorded transfers (BBL 1-02041-7503) 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; square footage from recorded condo declarations and offering plans.

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.
