The lot

What is already here?

The lot holds a 30-story condominium built in 1990, on a 28,638 sq ft lot.

  1. Floors 2–30Nothing 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 61 — the tallest thing within 60 m to the south is 180.4 m
Drawn from the outline and roof height the Department of City Planning publishes for this building: 119.2 m over 30 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

Recorded sale prices from the Department of Finance’s rolling file, covering the year to Sep 30, 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

26-30 WEST 38 ST OWNERS CORP

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 Nov 7, 2026. They describe the tax lot, not any single filing. When the rest of New York went up

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 records below are grouped because they publish BIN 1081017. They should not be read as a single construction project unless the underlying filings say so.

The matched set includes 8 alteration filing. Its latest status categories are 4 approved, 4 recorded as completed. Each filing page preserves its own status, dates, scope and source identifier.
