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.

Eastlight trades as the corridor's price leader on a per-square-foot basis among conventional condominium inventory, and the spread between it and the surrounding 2000s-vintage stock is the building's defining commercial fact. Sponsor closings began in 2021 into a soft market, which produced a first cohort of buyers whose basis is below where the building has generally cleared since; resale supply through 2024 and 2025 has been thin as a result, and the units that do come to market are disproportionately the smaller studio and one-bedroom lines rather than the multi-exposure corners.

Two pricing behaviors are worth naming for anyone underwriting here. First, the exposure premium inside the building is wide — a light-and-view corner and an interior line on the same floor are not comparable assets, and building-average per-square-foot figures materially mislead in both directions. Second, the corridor discount to the Murray Hill and Midtown East condominium tier a few blocks north is real but has compressed since delivery; buyers pricing Eastlight against The Devon at 333 East 34th Street or The Charleston are comparing new construction to converted and mid-2000s product, and the gap should be expected to persist.

Indexed to the last complete year, the Kips Bay and Murray Hill condominium market has been a volume market rather than a price-appreciation market — steady absorption at the entry and mid tiers, limited pricing power at the top. Eastlight's inventory sits mostly in the tiers that have kept moving.

Unit-level transaction history is maintained in The Roebling Research Library and shared with clients during diligence.

Each dot is one recorded sale with a known interior square footage, plotted by closing date against price per square foot. The line is the median $/sf each year, adjusted to a floor-standardized (average-floor) unit — so it reflects price movement, not which floors happened to sell that year. Individual sale prices in the table below are unadjusted — and you can click any dot to jump straight to that sale.

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 1-00914-7501). 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.
