Change in the building’s median $/sf over each window, from the raw yearly medians — too few standardized single-line units here to adjust to an average-floor basis, so which apartments happened to trade moves these alongside price. (2022 marks the rate-shock inflection.) Like-for-like repeat-sale figures to follow.
The Kent trades as a dollars-per-square-foot loft product and should be benchmarked against converted industrial buildings rather than against the new-construction condominium stock on the surrounding avenues. Compare actual apartment dimensions and condition with loft conversions in Bedford-Stuyvesant, Clinton Hill, Bushwick and Williamsburg; the building-area average does not establish a size ranking or a location premium.
Two things distort naive comparisons. The first is renovation condition: twenty-plus years of owner alterations mean two apartments of identical size can be genuinely different products, and unrenovated inventory here should be priced as a project. The second is the tax line — the reported absence of development benefits does not establish higher total carrying costs than an abated competitor; compare each apartment’s current taxes, charges, assessments and financing costs, and the comparison that matters is a full carrying-cost comparison rather than a price comparison. Unit-level transaction history is maintained in The Roebling Research Library and shared with clients during diligence.

The retrade record
Lines that have changed hands more than once in the public record — the building’s appreciation arc, apartment by apartment. Showing the 24 strongest of 54 repeat-trade lines; sort the table below by Unit to see every line’s full history.
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 3-01925-7501; 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.
