Sterling Curve (598 Sterling Place)

ARC Architecture + Design Studio filed the application for a four-story building with a penthouse, 50 feet tall, with seven dwelling units and about 6,900 square feet of floor area, in an R6B zoning district. The Department of Buildings processed the condominium subdivision into unit lots 1301–1307 in October 2025, and the declaration was recorded in May 2026.

Listing records describe floor-to-ceiling windows, wide-plank oak floors, open kitchens with custom cabinetry and integrated appliances, rain showers in the primary baths and in-unit washers and dryers. Many homes have private outdoor space, and the building has a shared roof deck.

One listing record gives the year built as 1910 and calls the building prewar. That is an error; the building is new construction.

The offering plan file number had not been published as of October 2026. Published asks, from listing records in January through July 2026:

• Upper-floor homes: $725,000 (2F), $775,000 (4R, shown as pending in June) and $825,000 raised to $895,000 (2R)
• Two-bedroom, two-bath (4F): about 883 square feet at $1,250,000, about $1,416 per square foot, with common charges listed at $736 a month
• Residence 1: about 1,752 square feet at $1,695,000, about $967 per square foot, shown in contract in April 2026

Recorded sponsor closings. ACRIS shows deeds of $767,500, $700,000, $750,000 and $775,000 on four of the seven unit lots, recorded July 31 through August 19, 2026. One listing record shows Residence 1 sold at $1,665,000; no deed for that sale appeared in ACRIS data through August 2026.

Recent sales

Sales sourced from NYC Department of Finance recorded transfers (BBL 3-01175-7504; 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.

Use the deeds. With four of seven homes closed, the recorded prices are the best guide to value. The closings ran below several of the earlier upper-floor asks.

Certificate of occupancy. The Department of Buildings records a certificate of occupancy for the new-building job. Ask whether it is final or temporary.

Taxes. Sponsor sales customarily shift the transfer taxes to the buyer. Homes at $1 million and above also pay the 1% mansion tax.

Small-building governance. In a seven-unit condominium the sponsor may hold a large share of the vote until the last homes sell. Read the by-laws and the reserve fund.

Carrying costs. Ask whether any abatement applies and what the plan budget projects for common charges.
