| Jun 15, 2025 | MAISONETTE | 4 BR · 5.5 BAClosed Jun 15, 2025 at $14M (public listing data-verified closing; no matching government record). MAISONETTE 4BR/5.5BA. The parallel #M-1 maisonette recorded at $10.5M in April 2025 — the two ground-floor closings within 60 days bracket 820 Fifth's maisonette tier at $10.5-14M; the higher SE-reported $14M trade likely reflects either a larger configuration or a stipulated all-in price including ancillary inventory. | $14,000,000 | — | |

Sales sourced from NYC Department of Finance recorded transfers (BBL 1-01378-0001) 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 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.
