Change in the building’s median $/sf over each window, adjusted to a floor-adjusted basis — standardized to the building’s average floor, so it reflects price rather than which floors happened to sell. (2022 marks the rate-shock inflection.) Like-for-like repeat-sale figures to follow.
287/LES began closing in March 2019 and has traded steadily since. Roughly three dozen deeds have been recorded across the 27 unit lots through the first quarter of 2026, meaning the building has now produced a real resale record on top of its original sellout rather than only sponsor closings — an unusual advantage for a boutique downtown condominium of this vintage, and the reason line-specific comparables are actually available here.
Pricing should be assessed per square foot against the post-2015 Lower East Side condominium set rather than against the tenement-conversion inventory that surrounds it, whose floor plates, ceiling heights and operating structures are not comparable. The single largest adjustment between this building and its abated peers is tax: at 287/LES the buyer is comparing a full-assessment monthly against, in many competing buildings, a benefit that is either still running or scheduled to phase out. Run that comparison on the actual current bill for the specific unit, not on a building average.
Unit-level transaction history is maintained in The Roebling Research Library and shared with clients during diligence.
The complete recorded-sale history for 287/LES, compiled from NYC Department of Finance transfer records and verified listing data, then enriched apartment-by-apartment by The Roebling Team research desk. Across sales with a public asking price, the building carries a median listing discount of 5.0% 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 1-00350-7503) 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. 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.

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.
