Change in the building’s median $/sf over each window, on a floor-adjusted basis — standardized to the building’s average floor, so it reflects price rather than which floors happened to sell. This is a different method from The Roebling Index, which publishes plain medians and applies no floor adjustment; the two are not interchangeable. Floor adjustment standardizes for floor only. It does not control for condition, size, exposure, renovation or the mix of what happened to trade. (2022 marks the rate-shock inflection.) Like-for-like repeat-sale figures to follow.
The sponsor's sellout was fast. All 33 residences closed between April 2019 and March 2020, most of them in spring and summer 2019. The sponsor holds no residential inventory. On the fiscal 2027 roll, the 33 residences are held by 33 distinct owners. The commercial units have also been sold, one in 2021 and the other in 2024. Resale activity has been steady for a building this size and was heaviest in 2025.
Element 88 should be priced against the newer North Williamsburg and Greenpoint boutique condominiums, and two adjustments apply. The first is the tax line. Compare purchase price and the full monthly cost separately. Include each apartment’s current tax bill, common charges, financing and other expenses, then model the documented phase-out of any competing abatement. Without those inputs, the direction and size of the carrying-cost difference are not established. The second is the design. Compare the façade and roughly 5,500-square-foot common deck with specific alternatives and their access terms rather than claiming no comparable building has them. Unit-level transaction history is maintained in The Roebling Research Library and shared with clients during diligence.
The complete recorded-sale history for Element 88, 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 1.4% from the last ask — a recurring negotiation gap worth pricing into any offer or listing strategy here.

The retrade record
Lines that have changed hands more than once in the public record — the building’s appreciation arc, apartment by apartment.
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 3-02742-7502; 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; square footage from recorded condo declarations and offering plans. 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.
