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.
Policy framework
Pets, pied-à-terre use and apartment rentals: Permitted — confirm with the managing agent.

Local Law 97
This building is below the 25,000 sq ft threshold at which LL97 limits apply to a building on its own. It is still covered if it shares a tax lot or condominium board with buildings totaling over 50,000 sq ft; confirm on DOB’s covered-buildings list.
See full Local Law 97 analysis →Facade safety — Local Law 11
The latest available FISP filing classified the facade as Safe — no repairs were required at that inspection. A filed Safe grade is not a guarantee of current condition: owners still maintain the facade and, where required, observe parapets each year. Future inspection timing (Local Law 49 of 2025 changed the cycle framework from October 1, 2026), repair and any assessment decisions remain building-specific.
How to read this, and where it comes from
QEWI = Qualified Exterior Wall Inspector — a licensed professional engineer or registered architect who meets DOB’s FISP qualifications and signs the report (the independent expert, not the managing agent).
Penalties shown are amounts DOB assessed against filings on record across 2010–15 to 2020–25. The FISP dataset does not record whether they were paid, contested or remain open, so treat the figure as history rather than a current balance and confirm the building’s standing with the managing agent.

Market read. Most recent trades (2026 to date) cleared a median $742/sf (floor-adjusted) across 2 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 0.7% from the last ask — a recurring negotiation gap worth pricing into any offer or listing strategy.

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.
