A Private Pricing Opinion — what your apartment at Five Sixty would likely sell for today, what it costs to sell, and what you’d walk away with — reviewed personally against condition, exposures, renovation quality, and the competition actually on the market.
About the building
Five Sixty is an eight-residence condominium designed by Steven Harris Architects and developed by Tavros with Adam Gordon Holdings. Limestone cladding, bronze-framed casement windows and substantial masonry surrounds give the eleven-story building its street character. A gallery occupies the lower portion. The project was under development when Hurricane Sandy struck, and the design incorporated a watertight foundation, removable street-front flood barriers, protective doors for mechanical equipment and a rooftop backup generator.
The residential program comprises six full-floor homes of approximately 3,200 square feet and two duplex penthouses. Four-bedroom layouts organize living and bedroom areas around a private elevator entrance, while the penthouses add larger terraces. Reinforced interior walls and humidity-control systems were incorporated into the design for the display of artwork. Balconies, fireplaces and dedicated laundry rooms form part of the apartment program.

The latest available FISP filing classified the facade as Safe — no repairs were required at that inspection. A filed Safe grade is not a guarantee of current condition: owners still maintain the facade and, where required, observe parapets each year. Future inspection timing (Local Law 49 of 2025 changed the cycle framework from October 1, 2026), repair and any assessment decisions remain building-specific.

What to know if you’re buying
The flood-protection equipment is an operating system that depends on maintenance and deployment, particularly the removable barriers. Its servicing, storage and activation arrangements are specific ownership considerations alongside the generator and protected mechanical rooms.

How to read the facts on this page. Items attributed to an offering plan describe the building as it was offered at that filing — unit mix, square footage, the amenity program as planned. They are not a statement about how the building operates today. Tax and compliance figures are sourced separately to current City records and carry their own dates. House rules, staffing and fee policy can change by board resolution without any public filing: treat every policy line here as a starting point for diligence and confirm it with the managing agent. Where this page compares one building or neighborhood to another, that is our analysis of the recorded record — it names the measure, the period and the sample it rests on, and it is an observation about medians rather than a prediction about any particular apartment.
