Carter’s Review

"Museums, art dealers and art collectors have long debated the merits of how to repair severely damaged works of art. For generations, it was customary for expert restorers to try their best to make the work look whole and disguise the repair, but modern conservators dislike such deception and prefer to make the repair quite obvious.

Given the popularity in architectural circles of Post-Modern and Deconstructivist flourishes, one is tempted to conjur all sorts of wild treatments for this barren patch. Perhaps it should be a violet terracotta surround, or a chrome reveal. Whatever it should be, it should not be left as is."

Sales History

Price/Room (Est)

Why are we displaying the estimated price per room?

For some co-ops, instead of price per square foot, we use an estimate of the number of rooms for each sold apartment to chart price changes over time. This is because many co-op listings do not include square footage information, and this makes it challenging to calculate accurate square-foot averages.

By displaying the price per estimated room count, we are able to provide a more reliable and consistent metric for comparing sales in the building. While we hope that this gives you a clearer sense of price trends in the building, all data should be independently verified. All data provided are only estimates and should not be used to make any purchase or sale decision.
