95 Madison Street — carrying the common name Liuli — is a boutique, five-story pre-war condominium at the southern edge of the Lower East Side, where the neighborhood meets Two Bridges and Chinatown. Built around 1900 and holding just 20 residences, it is the kind of small deeded-ownership building that trades on location and scale rather than on a marquee amenity package.
That location is the point. Set on Madison Street between Market and Catherine, the building sits within an easy walk of Chinatown's markets and restaurants, the East River waterfront and its parks, and several subway lines. Buyers here are choosing a compact, well-priced downtown home in a corner of Manhattan that has held its authentic neighborhood character.
Building operations
95 Madison Street is a boutique, self-managed condominium run at the scale of its 20 homes. It is a walk-up building without a doorman; common facilities are practical, and in-unit laundry is present in some residences. Buyers should confirm the current amenity set, house rules, and any building projects against the offering plan and governing documents at offer stage.
As a condominium, ownership here is deeded real property. There is no co-op-style board interview, financing is available through standard condominium lending, and pied-à-terre, investment, and sublet use are permitted under the bylaws. Confirm any transfer fee, sublet application, and pet policy against the current governing documents at offer stage.
What to know if you’re buying
This is a standard condominium purchase — deeded ownership, standard financing, no board approval to clear. Buyers are drawn to the price point relative to the broader Lower East Side, the boutique pre-war character, and a location that puts Chinatown, the waterfront, and multiple subway lines within walking distance. Because units trade infrequently, underwrite each home on its specifics and be ready to move on the right apartment.
What to know if you’re selling
The story is a boutique pre-war condominium at an accessible price in an authentic downtown pocket — a combination that draws value-focused buyers and investors. Pricing is apartment-specific: floor, light, layout, and renovation level position you against a small pool of recent sales. With few comps in a 20-unit building, presentation and positioning carry disproportionate weight.
