funny what a little flexibility can do for a classic Manhattan loft footprint Are you more a flood plan guy, or are you a numbers gal? If the former, you’ll appreciate how a side window in a Long-and-Narrow loft in Flatiron…

half-off finally sells 620 Broadway artist loft with (obviously) some issues
how selling a Manhattan loft can be like your worst experience pulling off a band-aid I’m going to lead the way you should pull off a band-aid, quickly (brutally, even): contrary to what you’ll read on StreetEasy, the very quirky…

were feet in larger loft at 105 East 16 Street worth more than in smaller loft?

nine years ago today … Manhattan Loft Guy post #1
how many ‘years’ is that in Internet time? (Can’t say that I miss Lorne Green often, but this question prompts one of those times.) Quick post without any downtown Manhattan lofts to discuss (directly). It was March 19, 2006 that I…
it’s only $15,000, but 449 Washington Street sales show the value of secrets to developers
there’s a celebrity angle to this Tribeca loft story I don’t usually talk about Manhattan loft sales in new development projects, but the recent publicity for the sale of a “1,665 sq ft” Manhattan loft denominated “Unit 3” at 449 Washington…
how much did the bathtub cost this Chelsea loft at 151 West 28 Street?
you know what they say about idiosyncratic design choices The Flower District is hardly a fringe area for Manhattan lofts, so it is a little surprising to see an architect-designed loft with “sleek” kitchen and improvements such as central air…

that awkward moment, when your Tribeca past catches you short

buy low, renovate well, sell high: easy-peazy at 366 Broadway
a conventional story downtown Manhattan, enhanced by beautiful renovation work I need to bring some balance, some rationality, to my consideration of loft renovation projects in Tribeca. Steven Soderbergh’s devil-may-care attitude is driving me a little crazy today (yesterday’s post, 155 Franklin…
