380 Amsterdam Avenue (The Gloucester)

The Gloucester is a plain post-war red-brick tower — its interest is in scale, corner light, and the full-block footprint rather than in ornament, with modest setbacks at the top floors giving the highest units small terraced advantages. The 272 residences run from studios through two-bedroom lines, with a few duplex penthouse configurations at the crown, priced in cooperative practice by room count. Higher and west-facing floors capture Hudson-direction light. Renovation quality varies line to line, as in any large co-op of this vintage.

The Gloucester runs as a full-service cooperative: 24-hour doorman, a live-in resident manager, central laundry, three elevators, an on-site parking garage, and a landscaped roof deck with Hudson-direction views. Gas, heat, and hot water are included in maintenance — a structural feature that shapes the monthly comparison against buildings that bill utilities separately. The offering plan, house rules, and recent financial statements are on file in The Roebling Research Library, and a board interview is required for every purchase.

Recent sales

Sales sourced from NYC Department of Finance recorded transfers (BBL 1-01170-7501) 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.

Underwrite the flip tax and sublet terms. A seller-paid flip tax of roughly 3 percent and a restricted, fee-bearing sublet policy are reported — factor both into your hold and exit math, and verify the current figures against the by-laws.

The included utilities change the maintenance comparison. Gas, heat, and hot water are in maintenance here; when you compare the monthly number to buildings that bill separately, adjust accordingly.

Price by room and condition. Cooperative pricing tracks room count and renovation level; the spread between original and updated lines is significant.

The location is the value. One block from the museum and its transit hub, near two parks and the Broadway spine, at a post-war co-op basis — evaluate light and exposure line by line.

Closing timelines are cooperative-standard. Plan for roughly six to ten weeks from contract through board approval to closing.

Lead with location and services. The museum-adjacent address, the roof deck, the garage, and the included utilities are your differentiators against the neighborhood's other value co-ops.

Set expectations on the flip tax. Buyers will price the seller-paid transfer fee into their offers; present it transparently.

Position by room count and condition. Price against the building's own recent trades at comparable room counts and renovation levels.

Closing timelines are cooperative-standard. Six to ten weeks from contract through board approval to closing.
