149 recorded transfers, 2014–2026. Sortable and searchable below.
Co-ops are normally measured by price per room, since square footage is not officially recorded for them. This building is shown in price per square foot because most of its sales carry documented footage, which makes the sharper measure the honest one here.

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.
Rivercross has one of the two deepest resale records on Roosevelt Island. ACRIS shows 175 share transfers against the lot, with a clean break in 2014: restricted-equity transfers at Mitchell-Lama formula amounts before it, open-market pricing after. Volume since has been steady — a dozen or more recorded transfers in most years, running through the current year — which gives the building real comparable evidence, something small submarkets rarely have.
Pricing here reflects adjustments that do not exist across the channel. Apartments trade at a discount to comparable Upper East Side stock, and the discount reflects the ground lease term, the payment-in-lieu-of-taxes structure, the underlying leverage and the island's single-line transit and tram dependence rather than the quality of the apartments, which is frequently better than the price implies. Within the building, exposure, apartment size and renovation condition drive the spread, and it is wide. The pending master lease extension is the most consequential open variable in the building's pricing, and both buyers and sellers should be tracking it. Index any market statement to the last complete year rather than the partial current one. Unit-level transaction history is maintained in The Roebling Research Library and shared with clients during diligence.
The complete recorded-sale history for Rivercross, compiled from NYC Department of Finance transfer records, with apartment-by-apartment detail from The Roebling Research Library. Across sales with a public asking price, the building carries a median listing discount of 3.9% 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 1-01373-0040). 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 on co-ops is not officially recorded, figures shown are approximate. 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.
