Full biography · 150 words

Corey Cohen is a Manhattan residential broker, Principal of The Roebling Team at Compass, and publisher of The Roebling Index — a building-level research platform developed from a warehouse of 330,000+ recorded Manhattan transactions across 13,000+ buildings. The Index publishes Manhattan-wide, neighborhood, and corridor pricing from 250,000+ index-eligible sales; alongside it, Roebling Valuation produces evidence-first apartment estimates from each building's own comparable record, backtested against more than 220,000 historical sales. The research underwrites the brokerage practice: pricing, negotiation, and diligence for buyers and sellers of Manhattan co-ops and condominiums, with coverage centered on the Upper East Side, Upper West Side, Tribeca, and the Park Avenue, Fifth Avenue, and Central Park West corridors. Cohen writes The Roebling Report, an analytical column on Manhattan market structure and building governance, and is the author of two books on the New York residential market.

The Roebling Index

A proprietary index of Manhattan apartment pricing — median condo price per square foot and co-op price per room, Manhattan-wide, by neighborhood, and along the named Park and avenue corridors — computed from 250,000+ index-eligible sales screened out of 330,000+ recorded Manhattan transactions. Series run from 2004; small samples are suppressed rather than smoothed. Latest release: July 2026.

Exact figures, latest release: 253,455 index-eligible sales drawn from 334,376 recorded residential transactions across 13,239 Manhattan buildings; 2,213 of those buildings carry dedicated public research profiles.

Roebling Valuation

An evidence-first estimate of a Manhattan apartment’s value, built from the subject building’s own comparable record — same-line and same-bedroom sales first, the neighborhood only when necessary, and the unit’s own prior sale as an anchor where one exists. The methodology was backtested against more than 220,000 historical Manhattan sales, with every estimate computed only from records dated before the sale it predicts; rules were adopted only when they improved out-of-sample accuracy, and the methodology file logs the rejected rules alongside the adopted ones.

On its largest validated segments the median error runs roughly 10–11%, shown to users as explicit ranges rather than false precision. About 86% of validated historical cases receive an on-screen estimate; the rest — townhouses, penthouses, thin records, $4M+ co-ops — route to a personally reviewed analysis instead of an automated number.

Current research angles
Manhattan co-ops have outperformed condos since the 2022 rate shock.

The Manhattan co-op $/room median is +4% since 2022 and +5% over the past year; the condo $/sf median is −4% since 2022. The relative-value segment, not the trophy segment, is carrying the recovery.

Yorkville is the strongest published neighborhood series in the Index.

Yorkville co-ops are +22% since 2022 and +16% since 2016 on 8,486 recorded sales — the Second Avenue subway corridor repricing, visible in closed transactions rather than asking prices.

Lincoln Square condos are the Upper West Side's soft spot.

Lincoln Square condo $/sf is −11% since 2022 while the Upper West Side overall is −2% — resales competing with two decades of new-development supply along the Broadway and Riverside corridors.

The Upper East Side's recovery is a co-op story.

UES co-ops are +12% since 2022 (+9% over the past year, on 36,056 recorded sales); UES condos are +1% over the same window.
