A Private Pricing Opinion — what your apartment at VI.V.IX 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.
VI.V.IX is a Karl Fischer-designed condominium with fourteen residences and a mix weighted toward compact one-bedroom homes. It pairs that small inventory with an elevator, fitness room, garage and furnished roof deck. Storage and parking have been offered as separate deeded interests, adding nonresidential lots to the condominium without adding apartments.
The development's completion took longer than its original construction date suggests. Published reporting places the final certificate of occupancy in May 2013 and the start of move-ins that autumn. A dispute among the project's backers delayed closings after the certificate was issued; the reported title obstacle was removed before buyers began closing.
Architecture and unit composition
Most one-bedroom homes are around 600 square feet, with large windows, open living-and-dining space and kitchens incorporating a breakfast bar. The inventory also includes a compact studio around 450 square feet and a much larger penthouse configuration of approximately 1,950 square feet.
Central air and in-unit washers and dryers are recurring features. Private outdoor space belongs to some larger homes, while all residents have access to the common roof deck. The penthouse inventory introduces a different scale of interior and exterior space from the smaller apartments on the main floors.
Building operations
The shared roof is furnished and has skyline views. A fitness room and bicycle storage add common facilities within the low-rise building. Private storage is included with some apartments, and garage spaces have been offered separately for purchase.
The condominium's tax structure contains fourteen residential lots and twenty-one nonresidential lots. Parking and storage interests help explain why a total tax-lot count is larger than the apartment inventory. The largest owner identified on the residential roll holds one of the fourteen homes.
Policy framework
Pets, rentals and pied-à-terre use: Allowed — confirm with the managing agent.
Financing: Up to 90% has been stated — confirm with the managing agent and lender.

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.
