A Private Pricing Opinion — what your apartment at 28 East 94th Street 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.
28 East 94th Street is a small, quietly desirable Carnegie Hill cooperative on a prime block between Madison and Fifth Avenues — a short walk from Central Park, the Cooper Hewitt, and the Madison Avenue retail row. The building dates to around the turn of the twentieth century, predating most of the apartment houses that fill out the neighborhood, and it has the intimate scale to match: seven stories, roughly forty homes, and the feel of a private house rather than a tower.
The location is the headline. Carnegie Hill is among the most consistently sought-after pockets of the Upper East Side — landmark-protected, residential, family-anchored, and close to both the park and the Museum Mile. A boutique co-op on East 94th between Madison and Fifth offers that address at a price below the white-glove pre-war giants on the avenues, which is precisely the trade-off many Carnegie Hill buyers are looking for.
Architecture and unit composition
The building is a survivor from the era when this stretch of Carnegie Hill was still filling in with rowhouses and small flats. It reads as a turn-of-the-century masonry low-rise — modest in ornament, human in scale — and it sits within the Expanded Carnegie Hill Historic District, so its exterior character is protected and any visible alteration goes before the Landmarks Preservation Commission.
The 40 apartments are intimate pre-war homes, generally configured as studios, one-bedrooms, and modest two-bedrooms suited to a building of this footprint. Buyers come here for the location and the boutique feel rather than for grand layouts; many units have been individually renovated over the years while the building retains its quiet, residential pre-war character.
Building operations
28 East 94th runs as a small, owner-occupied cooperative with a live-in resident manager handling day-to-day operations, plus central laundry and private storage in the building. There is no doorman — typical for a co-op of this size and vintage — which keeps monthly carrying costs lower than at the staffed avenue buildings nearby.
As with any boutique cooperative, the building's culture is hands-on: a manageable shareholder base, a working board, and the kind of close oversight that comes with a forty-unit house. Buyers should plan for a board package and interview, and for the financing and sublet posture typical of a small, stability-minded Carnegie Hill co-op.

The retrade record
Lines that have traded more than once in the public record — the building’s appreciation arc, apartment by apartment.
Full closing history with price-per-square-foot over time, the complete retrade record, and every line that has traded.
Sales sourced from NYC Department of Finance recorded transfers (BBL 1-01505-0056) 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 on co-ops is not officially recorded, figures shown are approximate.
What to know if you’re buying
This is a co-op purchase in one of the most protected, residential corners of the Upper East Side — so the value case is location, scale, and price relative to the avenue stock. Expect a board package and interview, and confirm the building's current financing cap and sublet rules as part of your underwriting; small co-ops tend toward conservative policies that favor owner-occupants.
The lifestyle is the draw. You are minutes from Central Park's 90th Street entrances, the Cooper Hewitt and the Jewish Museum, the boutiques and cafés of Madison Avenue, and the 96th Street stop on the 6 and the Second Avenue line a short walk east. For buyers who prize a quiet, landmark-protected block over building amenities, this is a strong entry into Carnegie Hill.
What to know if you’re selling
Lead with location and scale: a boutique pre-war co-op on a landmarked Carnegie Hill block between Madison and Fifth is the product, and that address carries the listing. Renovated, move-in-ready apartments command a clear premium with this building's value-minded buyer pool.
Price to the building's own recent trades and to comparable Carnegie Hill boutique co-ops, not to the white-glove avenue buildings. With so few sales in any given year, accurate day-one positioning matters more here than in a large building. We bring the building's transaction history and the live comparable set to every listing.

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.
