Change in the building’s median $/sf over each window, on a floor-adjusted basis — standardized to the building’s average floor, so it reflects price rather than which floors happened to sell. This is a different method from The Roebling Index, which publishes plain medians and applies no floor adjustment; the two are not interchangeable. Floor adjustment standardizes for floor only. It does not control for condition, size, exposure, renovation or the mix of what happened to trade. (2022 marks the rate-shock inflection.) Like-for-like repeat-sale figures to follow.
The Channel Club trades as a full-service Yorkville condominium, and its pricing behaves accordingly. On a price-per-square-foot basis the building generally sits in the range that a well-run 1980s East End condo commands — meaningfully below the trophy-condo and prime pre-war co-op tiers to the west, and reflecting Yorkville's traditional value relative to the Fifth, Park, and Madison spine. Recent transaction activity has spanned studios in the high-six-figures through larger family apartments at multiples of that, with per-square-foot outcomes varying by floor, line, exposure, view, and renovation condition.
Two factors drive dispersion in the building's results. First, condition: renovated apartments with updated kitchens and baths clear at a premium to dated, original-finish units, and the spread between the two has widened as buyers increasingly price in renovation cost and timeline. Second, exposure and view: the eastern lines with open park and river outlook command a premium over interior and west-facing units on the same floor. Buyers and sellers should treat building-wide averages as a starting point only and price at the apartment level against genuinely comparable lines and floors. (Figures reflect general market framing, not a specific current listing or trade.)
The complete recorded-sale history for The Channel Club, compiled from NYC Department of Finance transfer records, with apartment-by-apartment detail from The Roebling Research Library. Across sales with a public asking price, the building carries a median listing discount of 3.1% from the last ask — a recurring negotiation gap worth pricing into any offer or listing strategy here.

The retrade record
Lines that have changed hands more than once in the public record — the building’s appreciation arc, apartment by apartment. Showing the 24 strongest of 35 repeat-trade lines; sort the table below by Unit to see every line’s full history.
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.

Sources, exclusions and how these figures are computed
Sales sourced from NYC Department of Finance recorded transfers (BBL 1-01566-7501). 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.
