The Monarch

Newman Design / NDG Architect PC is credited with the building's design. Elevator access serves the residential levels. The apartment mix includes one-bedroom homes around 700 square feet, two-bedroom homes around 1,000 square feet and three-bedroom duplexes above 1,500 square feet.

The duplex inventory separates bedrooms and living areas across two levels. Some homes use an internal spiral stair, with a lower-level primary suite and living space above. That circulation is part of the apartment layout and occupies a different share of the interior from a single-level plan of similar stated area.

Upper residences include substantial private terraces. A two-bedroom home sold in 2024 with a terrace larger than its roughly 1,000-square-foot interior. The outdoor area is a separate component of the home and should remain separate from interior square footage in a sale presentation.

The common roof terrace is distinct from those private outdoor areas. In-unit washer/dryers are installed in apartments, and the larger residences include two-bath layouts. Interior finishes use open kitchens and wood floors, with the overall plan and outdoor allocation doing more to differentiate homes than a uniform finish package.

The association maintains a gym, lounge, bicycle storage and shared rooftop facilities. Entrance service uses a virtual doorman system. The original offering included eight parking units, a smaller inventory than the 21 residences, so parking is an additional ownership interest available with only some homes.

DOF classifies the residential and nonresidential lots separately. The largest residential owner holds two apartments, about 10% of the inventory. The Attorney General's filing history identifies a non-sponsor-controlled board by 2025, marking a governance distinction from the original sales period.

The 421-a program began in 2013 and remains active on the 2027 roll. Its 15-year term should be evaluated separately from the condominium's later opening and sales dates. The start of the tax benefit precedes the first years of completed residential ownership.

Sales sourced from NYC Department of Finance recorded transfers (BBL 4-00029-7502; 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.

Distinguish private and common rooftop obligations. Several upper homes have substantial outdoor areas, while the condominium also operates a shared roof terrace. The apartment's documents should identify the private boundaries and the responsibility for surfaces, drainage and access to the common roof beneath them. The size of the private terrace can make that allocation consequential for an upper-floor purchase.
