A recent $3.45 million sale in the Morse Building at 140 Nassau Street set a record as the most expensive co-op sale ever recorded in the Financial District.
While the sale might not seem notable in the world of Manhattan real estate, where apartments priced at $10 million and upwards are commonplace, there are only 13 co-op buildings in the Financial District where the median listing price is $935,000 for the neighborhood's 21 available co-ops. Additionally, over the last 12 months, co-op sales have closed at a median of $772,500. By contrast, more expensive sales are routinely recorded in the neighborhood’s dozens of condo buildings which have a 12-month closing median of $1,227,500. See all closed sales here.
