A Private Pricing Opinion — what your apartment at 300 West 30th 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.
300 West 30th Street is a bet on the Penn District, and it was placed early. Hiwin USA developed the 16-story, 69-residence condominium on the corner of West 30th Street and Eighth Avenue — a corner that, when the building was permitted, sat in one of the least residential stretches of Manhattan south of 42nd Street, and that now sits at the southern edge of the largest concentrated redevelopment program in the city. Moynihan Train Hall opened three blocks north. The Penn District master plan contemplates several towers around Madison Square Garden. Manhattan West and Hudson Yards are a short walk west.
The building itself is modest in ambition and clear in execution. Studio C Architects designed a glass-and-metal-panel envelope with projecting balconies, massed as a punched-wall base beneath a glass volume — a legible, contextually scaled 16-story infill building rather than a tower. At that height it holds the Eighth Avenue streetwall rather than breaking it, which on this stretch is the right decision.
Where the building spends its money is inside. Workshop/APD — one of the more disciplined interiors practices working in New York residential development — did the interiors, and the attended lobby is the clearest expression of it: fluted glass, brass accents, white oak panelling and Italian porcelain floors. That is a specification level well above what a 69-unit building at this price point usually carries, and it is the single most persuasive thing about the property in person.
The amenity program is calibrated rather than exhaustive: a residents' lounge, a co-working space, a fitness center, a ground-level courtyard with seating and a fire pit, and a 12th-floor Sky Terrace. The co-working space is worth noting — it was specified before the post-2020 repricing of that amenity, and it now reads as a genuine differentiator in a building whose unit mix runs to studios and one-bedrooms where a dedicated work area inside the apartment is not always possible.
The locational argument is transit and price. Four subway lines within a few blocks, two of the city's major rail terminals within walking distance, and closing prices for one- and two-bedroom residences below the Chelsea condominium market south of 23rd Street. The counter-argument is equally honest: this is a working corner, the Penn District is a construction zone and will be for years, and the residential fabric here is thinner than in Chelsea proper. Buyers are trading neighborhood maturity for price and transit.
Architecture and unit composition
The 69 residences run across 16 stories in studio through two-bedroom layouts, with the upper-floor A-line carrying the largest floor plans. Many residences have projecting private balconies, which is what gives the façade its articulation from the street; north- and east-facing units look toward the Farley Building, Moynihan Train Hall and the Empire State Building, and west-facing units toward Hudson Yards and Manhattan West.
The lot is small — 6,635 square feet, carrying approximately 47,420 square feet of building — which means compact floor plates and a modest number of units per floor. That produces a quieter building than the unit count suggests, and it also means the amenity program is carried by a small owner base; the common-charge budget should be read with that in mind.
A ground-floor retail condominium occupies the Eighth Avenue frontage and is held and traded separately from the residential units; city records show it changing hands twice since the building's completion.
Building operations
The building operates as a full-service condominium with a 24-hour attended lobby. The Workshop/APD lobby specification — fluted glass, brass, white oak panelling, Italian porcelain — is the building's signature and is in materially better condition and higher specification than the peer set at this price point.
Amenities are the residents' lounge, the co-working space, the fitness center, the ground-level courtyard with seating and fire pit, and the 12th-floor Sky Terrace. Two separate outdoor amenities — one at grade and one at the twelfth floor — is generous for a 69-unit building on a 6,635-square-foot lot.
Common charges, real estate taxes and any abatement position vary by unit and should be pulled for the specific residence. Because the building has been through its initial sellout and is now several years into stabilized operation, ask the managing agent for the current operating budget and the reserve position rather than relying on the sponsor's original projection — the gap between the two is the most useful diligence item available in a building of this vintage.

Market read. Most recent trades (2026) cleared a median $1,855/sf (floor-adjusted) across 3 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 -1.8% over ask.

What to know if you’re buying
The interior specification is the reason to buy here. The Workshop/APD lobby and residence finishes sit above the price point. Walk the lobby and the amenity floor before comparing this building to anything else in the Penn District cohort.
Pull the stabilized operating budget, not the sponsor projection. The building is far enough past sellout that a real budget and a real reserve number exist. Get both.
Understand what the Penn District will be during your hold. North- and east-facing residences look directly at the redevelopment zone. That is upside on a ten-year horizon and noise on a three-year one.
The unit mix runs small. Studios through two-bedrooms. If the requirement is three bedrooms or more, this is not the building, and the alternatives are in Chelsea proper or west toward Hudson Yards.
Run True Monthly Carrying Cost against the current tax bill on the specific unit. Do not assume any abatement position; verify it.
What to know if you’re selling
Do not price off the 2023 sellout. Those closings are the building's history, not its market. Build pricing from post-sellout transfers and from the current northern Chelsea and Penn District condominium market.
Time the listing against in-building inventory. With 69 units and few resales per year, being the only unit on market in your line is the single largest lever available.
Lead with the finish level and the two outdoor amenities. Fluted glass, brass and white oak in the lobby; a fire-pit courtyard at grade and a Sky Terrace at the twelfth floor. Those are the specifics that separate this building from newer, blander competition nearby.
Address the Penn District directly rather than around it. Sophisticated buyers already know what is being built north of the building. Framing it as the reason the corner is repricing is a stronger position than not raising it.
Closing pacing is condominium-fast. Right of first refusal rather than board approval; 30 to 45 days typical.

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.
