up + up for 13th floor at 395 Broadway, with quick contract

spectacular, indeed
Touted as a “[s]pectacular high floor mint loft w/ sunny open views from three exposures“, The Market evidently agrees. This “1,200 sq ft” loft is a true One Bed Wonder, as there are no interior walls. (Yes, they could be added back, but at some significant decrease in the light and sense of space.) Having sold so quickly as is, I suspect the buyer is looking to move in the day after closing, rather than create some bedrooms.

strong price
The ask of $1.475mm and $1,157/mo (condo) struck me as aggressive when I noted it, based on past sales in the building, but the quick contract strongly suggests only a slight discount fm asking price to contract price (or no discount at all).

I reviewed recent sales in the building when #6C went into contract two months ago (Sept 14: in contract at 395 Broadway / noisy edge of Tribeca). That one has not closed yet, but was asking $1.375mm for “1,200 sq ft” that was nearly square, with windows on only one side.
