Change in the building’s median $/sf over each window, from the raw yearly medians — too few standardized single-line units here to adjust to an average-floor basis, so which apartments happened to trade moves these alongside price. (2022 marks the rate-shock inflection.) Like-for-like repeat-sale figures to follow.

The building trades as boutique full-floor loft product on the Chelsea–Midtown South seam. With eight residences and a sellout that ran from 2000 into 2002, same-building comparables are thin by construction — resale volume across the entire building has averaged well under one trade a year since conversion. Pricing is therefore established by the Chelsea and Flatiron full-floor loft set rather than by an internal average, and it moves with renovation condition more than with floor.

Indexed to the last complete year, Chelsea loft condominiums price on a dollars-per-square-foot basis that sits below new-development inventory on the same avenues and above prewar cooperative product of comparable size. The absence of a tax abatement and the absence of amenity payroll pull in opposite directions on the monthly number, and the net result should be modeled on the specific unit. Unit-level transaction history is maintained in The Roebling Research Library and shared with clients during diligence.

The complete recorded-sale history for 291 Seventh Avenue, 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 6.8% from the last ask — a recurring negotiation gap worth pricing into any offer or listing strategy here.

Each dot is one recorded sale with a known interior square footage, plotted by closing date against price per square foot. The line is the median $/sf each year, adjusted to a floor-standardized (average-floor) unit — so it reflects price movement, not which floors happened to sell that year. Individual sale prices in the table below are unadjusted — and you can click any dot to jump straight to that sale.

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.

The most recent eligible transfer recorded at this building is from 2024. Our records run through August 2026; no later qualifying sale has been recorded here, which for a small or tightly held building is common rather than a gap in the data.

Sources, exclusions and how these figures are computed

Sales sourced from NYC Department of Finance recorded transfers (BBL 1-00802-7502) 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.
