A Private Pricing Opinion — what your apartment at 340 West 53rd 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.
Ten for-sale homes on a 4,017-square-foot lot is a boutique program. The mid-block site between Eighth and Ninth Avenues is zoned R8 per PLUTO, and the filed design is seven stories and 66 feet.
The filing describes a mixed community facility and residential building. Published reporting describes ground-floor commercial space of about 2,773 square feet. A buyer should confirm in the offering plan how the commercial and community-facility components are structured and whether they are part of the condominium.
What's planned
Plans call for a rectangular seven-story building. Renderings released with the project show a facade of white and black metal paneling around an irregular grid of floor-to-ceiling windows. Published reporting describes a communal roof terrace, private balconies facing a 38-foot rear yard, and a fitness center, lounge and bike parking. The typical floor plan shows the balconies at the rear of each residence.
The average residence is 1,348 square feet. The mix of studios, one-bedrooms and larger layouts has not been published. Confirm the unit mix, finishes and any interior designer in the offering plan once filed.

What to know if you’re buying
- Reservations before plan acceptance are non-binding. A buyer can reserve a unit in some sponsor sales before the plan is accepted, but the sponsor cannot sign contracts until the Attorney General accepts the plan.
- Deposits in new-development sales are typically 10 to 20 percent of the price, held in escrow until closing.
- Closing costs. In sponsor sales the buyer customarily pays the New York State and New York City transfer taxes, and the mansion tax applies at purchases of $1 million and above.
- Closing on a temporary certificate of occupancy is normal in new construction. The buyer closes before the final certificate is issued, and the plan sets out the sponsor's obligation to complete.
- Budget, common charges and tax abatement are set in the offering plan. For a ten-unit building, common charges are spread across few owners; read the budget line by line.
- Mixed-use structure. The filing lists community facility and residential use, and reporting adds commercial space. Ask how those components are owned and who pays for shared systems.

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.
