Carter’s Review

"This 25-story tower at 178 East 80th Street was one of the first apartment towers to experiment with a sunken retail plaza. The plaza actually fronts on Third Avenue where it takes up about half the frontage in the middle of the block between 79th and 80th Streets.

Like most sunken plazas in the city with the exception of the famous one at Rockefeller Center that inspired them all, it has not been terribly successful either commercially or urbanistically."

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.
