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.
Sponsor sales ran from 2009 into 2011 and the building sold out to eight separate, unrelated buyers — individuals, trusts and holding entities — with no bulk transfer and no single owner holding the residential inventory. Resale volume since has been thin, which is what an eight-unit building produces: single-digit trades across fifteen years, several of them entity-to-entity.
Because the residences are large duplexes and simplexes with substantial private outdoor space, per-square-foot comparison against conventional West Chelsea new-development inventory understates them; the terraces, the operable façade and the architectural provenance are not in the price per foot. The right comparable set is the small group of signature-architect West Chelsea condominiums rather than the larger full-service towers along Eleventh Avenue, whose economics and buyer pool differ. Market statements here should be indexed to the last complete year rather than to partial-year data, which is thin at this price point. Unit-level transaction history is maintained in The Roebling Research Library and shared with clients during diligence.
The complete recorded-sale history for Metal Shutter Houses, compiled from NYC Department of Finance transfer records and verified listing data, then enriched apartment-by-apartment by The Roebling Team research desk. Across sales with a public asking price, the building carries a median listing discount of 6.3% from the last ask — a recurring negotiation gap worth pricing into any offer or listing strategy here.

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 1-00690-7502) and verified listing data. Apartment-level facts (line, condition, asking-price context) curated and cross-verified by The Roebling Team research desk. 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.
