what would have happened if they renovated the kitchen to sell 105 Fifth Avenue loft?

no rational market evident in 708 Greenwich Street loft sale $260k over ask
an ‘efficient’ Manhattan loft market requires more transparency than a bidding war can offer From November 2014 to February 2015 the overall Manhattan residential real estate market was essentially flat, unless you consider a change of .01% to be a significant deviation…
side window in 9 West 20 Street loft allows huge master

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…

Tribeca loft sells up 45% in 19 months … a superstorm effect?

architects trash O’Neill Building loft in Chelsea, in order to make it beautiful, of course
