A Private Pricing Opinion — what your apartment at 99 John Deco Lofts 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.
99 John Street is a 1933 Shreve, Lamb & Harmon Art Deco tower by the same architectural firm that designed the Empire State Building — converted to rental ownership in 1999 and to condominium ownership in 2007.
The building's defining credential is the Shreve, Lamb & Harmon architectural pedigree — the same firm that two years earlier had designed the Empire State Building (1931) — whose broader Manhattan work places 99 John Street in the most architecturally consequential 1933 commercial cohort. That pedigree survives outside in the Art Deco limestone tower facade, carried intact through both conversions, and inside in the 11-14 ft beamed ceilings retained from the original prewar industrial fabric.
Architecture and building operations
Shreve, Lamb & Harmon's 1933 design produced a 27-story Art Deco limestone tower. The firm completed the Empire State Building two years earlier (1931) and brought the same Art Deco architectural register to 99 John Street. The 1999 rental conversion preserved the prewar fabric; the 2007 condominium conversion by Avinash Malhotra produced 442 condominium residences.
Operations: 24-hour doorman; concierge; fitness center; spa; private storage. The 11-14 ft beamed ceilings and prewar detailing are preserved across the residential inventory.

Common charges plus real estate taxes, combined into one monthly figure the way New York condominium listings show them. Add a mortgage payment for the monthly outlay. The split into common charges and taxes comes from the listings that also give the annual tax, a different sample, so the two lines need not add up exactly to the combined median; a tax abatement can hold taxes below the full amount until it expires. A summary of recorded sales and listings, not a current bill; charges change.

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.
