Change in the building’s median $/sf over each window, on a floor-adjusted basis — standardized to the building’s average floor, so it reflects price rather than which floors happened to sell. This is a different method from The Roebling Index, which publishes plain medians and applies no floor adjustment; the two are not interchangeable. Floor adjustment standardizes for floor only. It does not control for condition, size, exposure, renovation or the mix of what happened to trade. (2022 marks the rate-shock inflection.) Like-for-like repeat-sale figures to follow.
Ariel East trades as the glass-tower alternative on upper Broadway. Its apartments are more conventionally sized than those in Ariel West across the street, and that difference in plate size is the first adjustment in any comparison between the two towers.
Position in the stack drives the spread more than anything else. A three-per-floor apartment on the 5th floor, a two-per-floor apartment on the 19th, and a full-floor residence on the 32nd are three different products in one tax lot. Same-line, same-tier comparables are the best anchor; where a tier has not traded recently, adjust from the nearest one.
Views depend on floor and exposure; none is protected without a recorded instrument. The built 12.10 FAR exceeds a simple comparison with the current mapping's 7.52, which does not by itself establish legal zoning floor area or rule out future work, and the 2007 Upper West Side rezoning that followed the Ariel towers capped what can rise around them. That scarcity argument is real, and it is shared with the sister tower rather than unique to this one.
Carrying cost deserves the same attention as price. Common charges support a staffed lobby, a resident manager and a cellar amenity floor across only 64 apartments, plus the building's share under the Easement and Operating Agreement. Taxes are unabated. Run True Monthly Carrying Cost against the actual tax bill and the current common charge rather than against a listing estimate.
Market statements here are indexed to the last complete year. Unit-level transaction history is maintained in The Roebling Research Library and shared with clients during diligence.
The complete recorded-sale history for Ariel East, compiled from NYC Department of Finance transfer records, with apartment-by-apartment detail from The Roebling Research Library. Across sales with a public asking price, the building carries a median listing discount of 3.1% from the last ask — a recurring negotiation gap worth pricing into any offer or listing strategy here.

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 1-01871-7502; each condominium apartment is its own tax lot). 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 from recorded condo declarations and offering plans. 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.
Put this data to work.
Know what’s fair before you offer — we’ll show you where each line trades, the building’s discount-to-ask pattern, and where the value sits right now.
Price to the building’s real trajectory, not a guess — we’ll position your line against its true comps to maximize the outcome.
