Change in the building’s median $/sf over each window, from the raw yearly medians — too few standardized single-line units here to adjust to an average-floor basis, so which apartments happened to trade moves these alongside price. (2022 marks the rate-shock inflection.) Like-for-like repeat-sale figures to follow.
Seven residences is a very thin same-building comparable set, and resale activity here is correspondingly sparse — a handful of recorded transfers since the 2015 sellout. Pricing has to be built from the outside in: full-floor loft condominiums in landmark conversions in the Fulton corridor, adjusted for the absence of staffing and amenities and for the now-unabated tax line.
The building's strengths in that comparison are scale and provenance — a full floor with two exposures, high vaulted ceilings and an intact 1893 landmark façade — and its constraints are the small building's economics and the Landmarks obligation on the exterior. Buyers who want a doorman, a gym and a package room are looking at a different building. Unit-level transaction history is maintained in The Roebling Research Library and shared with clients during diligence.
The complete recorded-sale history for Keuffel & Esser Company Building, compiled from NYC Department of Finance transfer records, with apartment-by-apartment detail from The Roebling Research Library.

The retrade record
Lines that have changed hands more than once in the public record — the building’s appreciation arc, apartment by apartment.
Every recorded sale
Sort any column; filter by unit or keyword. Prices are the recorded transfer amount at the NYC Department of Finance. Every sale sits in one of three states: counted in the building’s medians and trend; shown but excluded as a non-arms-length or nominal transfer; or shown and ⚑ flagged for review — a possible duplicate filing or an extreme $/sf outlier, held out of the statistics pending manual verification rather than allowed to move them.

The latest qualifying transfer in our compiled records for this building is from 2024. The dataset is current through September 2026; that does not by itself establish that no later sale occurred.
Sources, exclusions and how these figures are computed
Sales sourced from NYC Department of Finance recorded transfers (BBL 1-00091-7503; each condominium apartment is its own tax lot). Apartment-level facts (line, condition, asking-price context) curated and cross-verified in The Roebling Research Library. 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. Storage, parking, and commercial units are excluded from all figures. Floor- and line-level $/sf are time-controlled (each sale measured against the building’s going rate at the time of sale) and expressed at today’s pricing, so they isolate the floor or line premium rather than blend two decades of market movement.
Put this data to work.
Know what’s fair before you offer — we’ll show you where each line trades, the building’s discount-to-ask pattern, and where the value sits right now.
Price to the building’s real trajectory, not a guess — we’ll position your line against its true comps to maximize the outcome.
