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.
455 West 19th Street has ten residences; evaluate the number, recency and similarity of actual sales rather than assuming its unit count makes useful internal comparables impossible. Pricing has to be argued from the unit's own attributes — floor, exposure, outdoor space, ceiling height — against the broader West Chelsea condominium market rather than against a building average.
Two structural facts drive the carrying-cost math and should be modeled explicitly. There is no tax abatement on the roll, so there is no phase-out to model, though taxes and common charges can still change. And full-time door staff is a large fixed cost for ten units, which can push common charges per square foot above what a ten-unit building would otherwise carry; confirm from the budget whether any pool cost is shared or billed to the penthouse alone. Both are knowable in advance and both belong in the analysis before an offer, not after.
Comparables should be drawn from small West Chelsea condominiums of similar vintage rather than from the larger Special West Chelsea District towers along the High Line, whose air-rights economics, bulk and buyer pool are different. Unit-level transaction history is maintained in The Roebling Research Library and shared with clients during diligence.

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 2022. 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 1-00717-7505; 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.
