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.
5 Court Square trades as boutique new-development product in a district defined by towers, with 58 residences. Long Island City's for-sale market is priced principally in dollars per square foot, but a comparison with Queens Plaza or the Hunters Point waterfront should use dated sales matched for floor, size, views, condition and monthly costs.
Against the towers, 5 Court Square trades amenity depth and doorman coverage for a smaller common charge base and a much smaller building. Against the Hunters Point waterfront condominiums, it trades views and parkland for a transit position that no waterfront building matches — the Court Square complex is across the street rather than a ten-minute walk. Against the district's loft conversions, it trades character and ceiling height for new systems and a building envelope less than a decade old.
The building's practical pricing anchor is line-specific rather than building-wide. On a wedge-shaped floorplate, the angled corner residences and the interior lines are different products, and recent comparables on the same line move a negotiation more reliably than a building average. The eleventh-floor lounge and the higher floors' open exposures over the low-rise fabric toward Thomson Avenue also carry real value that the average does not capture.
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 2023. 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 4-00081-7501; 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.
