A Private Pricing Opinion — what your apartment at Ivy28 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.
Ivy28 is an eight-story condominium with a deliberately small residential inventory: 28 studios and one-bedroom homes around a courtyard-centered design. GP Architectural Studio designed the building for Queens Plaza 27, Inc. Its striped exterior and ivy-covered courtyard walls distinguish it from the larger developments around Court Square and Queens Plaza.
The Attorney General accepted the condominium plan in October 2013, and it became effective in September 2014. That filing separates the 28 residences from one commercial unit and two parking units. The residential count is therefore a defined legal category within a mixed-use property, not the total number of condominium interests.
The original apartment program concentrated on smaller homes with walk-in closets and efficient layouts. The courtyard supplies shared outdoor space within that compact format, and part-time entrance service adds staffing at a scale of fewer than thirty residences.
Architecture and unit composition
The exterior has two contrasting tones arranged in horizontal bands, divided by slim metallic elements. The courtyard introduces an interior-facing part of the plan, with planted walls and a mural. This creates a second setting for the building beyond its 27th Street frontage.
Studios and one-bedroom homes make up the original residential offering. Alcove and convertible configurations occur within that range, giving some plans a recess or additional separation within the main living area. A convertible description concerns how a space may be used; an enclosed legal bedroom still depends on the actual approved layout.
Walk-in closets were part of the initial design program. In apartments of this size, dedicated storage can reduce the need for freestanding wardrobes in the principal room.
The original kitchen specifications included granite counters, wood cabinetry and stainless-steel appliances. Bathrooms were designed with stone and tile finishes and soaking tubs. These are construction-era features; later owners may have replaced individual appliances or altered finishes during resale ownership.
Windows facing the street and windows facing the courtyard have different immediate outlooks. The courtyard places planting and an enclosed shared space close to the building, while the street frontage relates to the surrounding blocks. Height adds another distinction, but the direction and position of the windows remain essential to understanding a home's light.
The relatively narrow apartment range makes small plan differences consequential. An alcove, a more usable entry or a better separation between kitchen and living space can change how the same approximate interior area functions.
Building operations
Ivy28's shared facilities include an elevator, laundry, bicycle storage and package facilities. Part-time doorman service supports the entrance. The courtyard adds planted common space that requires ongoing maintenance within a small residential association.
The commercial and parking interests are separate from the apartments. The Attorney General filing identifies one commercial unit and two parking units; DOF groups the three nonresidential lots in tax class 4. Those parking interests aren't a parking entitlement for every residential owner — confirm whether a specific apartment includes one.
The 421-a benefit began in 2016 and remains active on the 2027 roll under a fifteen-year capped program. The benefit schedule is especially relevant to an owner planning beyond the remaining term. The program's cap and phaseout are separate from the apartment's common charges, which fund the condominium's operating expenses.

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.
