Garment district loft before & after at 361 West 36 Street
picturing the art more than the loft, alas Have you taken the new Curbed out for a spin yet? The totally new look and feel (and editorial approach) were apparently driven by the need to standardize across the Vox Media…

buy low, renovate well, sell high: easy-peazy at 366 Broadway

open eastern view is worth $425,000 at Chelsea Mercantile (approx) (at least)

lovely, but … Chelsea loft at 236 West 26 Street sells TWENTY-FOUR PERCENT above ask
(sometimes, you have to shout about Manhattan loft sales) The Capital at 236 West 26 Street is a fairly mature coop, having been converted in 1984. There are some quirks (commercial lofts mixed with residential units; odd numbering conventions for…

did a rising tide sell 250 Mercer Street mini-loft, unsold in slack of 2013?
finding the right price at the right time for a Manhattan loft sometimes takes time Asking $630,000 for the tiny (“600 sq ft”) Manhattan loft #B1507 at 250 Mercer Street was too high a price in 2013. Heck, even $599,000…
