A Private Pricing Opinion — what your apartment at The Luminary 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.
About the building
The Luminary occupies an angular parcel left by the diagonal extension of Seventh Avenue South through the older Village street grid. Gertler Wente Kerbeykian Architects designed the six-story building in 2008–09 with metal, stone and glass façades. Its seven-sided plan creates angled rooms and multiple exposures. The building replaced a commercial structure and retains commercial premises at the base. Historic district designation followed in 2010.
The residences include full-floor layouts with direct keyed access, floor-to-ceiling windows and private balconies or terraces. Open living areas are separated from bedroom wings, with central heating and cooling and in-unit laundry. A landscaped roof deck adds shared outdoor space above the apartments. Virtual lobby service and a locked package room support deliveries without a conventional staffed entrance.

The retrade record
Lines that have traded more than once in the public record — the building’s appreciation arc, apartment by apartment.
Full closing history with price-per-square-foot over time, the complete retrade record, and every line that has traded.
Sales sourced from NYC Department of Finance recorded transfers (BBL 1-00586-7502) 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.

What to know if you’re buying
The former abatement no longer reduces carrying costs. Older resale comparisons may reflect a 421-a benefit that has now ended. The small residential association also shares the property with commercial space, making the declaration’s division of expenses and control relevant to a purchase.

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.
