I doubt that they (much) improved on state-of-the-artThe “3,227 sq ft” Manhattan loft #5B at 195 Hudson Street has had a rather … dynamic … pricing history, leading to an unanswerable conundrum for me: how much of the increase in…
maple beats oak, handily, and 9th beats 10th, as 21 East 22 Street loft close up 26% since 2007
