The lot

What is already here?

The lot holds a 16-story office building built in 1911, on a 4,941 sq ft lot.

  1. Floors 2–16Nothing on record
  2. Floor 1Street levelStreet level. The lot is recorded as commercial and office, so this floor is where the commercial space is.
  • Street levelCommercial and office
  • Above the southern skylineFrom about floor 38 — the tallest thing within 60 m to the south is 111.3 m
Drawn from the outline and roof height the Department of City Planning publishes for this building: 64.2 m over 16 floors, as the city counts them. 1 run of floors has something on record. The city publishes a roof height and a storey count for the lot, and nothing at all about any individual floor. What stands to the south is measured from the city’s own footprints and roof heights; it is a statement about the skyline, not a calculation of sunlight.

What it sold for

30 apartments on this tax block changed hands in the year the city last published, at a median of $720,000, from 335,000 to 40,000,000.

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

45-34 REALTY CORP C/O

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.

Lot facts come from NYC Department of City Planning, Primary Land Use Tax Lot Output (PLUTO) (64uk-42ks), accessed Oct 2, 2026. They describe the tax lot, not any single filing. When the rest of New York went up
