The apartments
324 condominium apartments are assessed on this block, and the typical one is 1,078 sq ft (100 m²). They run from 53 to 203 m².
The city values the typical one at $397,473. That is the Department of Finance’s market valuation for tax, not an asking price and not a sale.
What it sold for
12 apartments on this tax block changed hands in the year the city last published, at a median of $3,340,000, from 1,660,000 to 6,525,000.
The property itself last changed hands for $63,000,000 on Dec 29, 2025.
Recorded sale prices from the Department of Finance’s rolling file, covering the year to Aug 31, 2026. Transfers under $10,000 are left out: New York records deed transfers between relatives at a dollar, and those are not sales. No apartment number and no name is carried from either side.
Owner of record

As the assessment roll records it. Only owners that read as a company are shown here; where the roll names an individual, nothing is published.

What is recorded here
Multiple filings, one stable building identifier.
New York City's Building Identification Number helps connect filings that may use different application numbers or describe different scopes of work.

The matched set includes 2 full demolition, 3 alteration filing. Its latest status categories are 4 approved, 1 under review. Each filing page preserves its own status, dates, scope and source identifier.
