Good to know: a building's typical closing price reflects its mix of apartments as much as its pricing. A building full of studios and one-bedrooms will look cheaper than one full of three-bedrooms, even at the same price per square foot. Compare similar layouts before reading too much into the gap, and check each apartment's price and size in the offering plan's Schedule A.
Sales Pace: How Much Is Left
Front and York has closed 191 of 408 homes (47%), 17 of them in the last 12 months. The typical neighbor has 83 homes and has closed 100% of them: 10 of the 14 are sold out or nearly so.
That matters for buyers in two ways. Many unsold homes in one building means more choice and, often, more room to negotiate with the sponsor, especially on closing costs. It also means the sponsor may own a large share of the building, and control its board, for a while. See what a condo board does.

What Sets Front and York Apart
- Two towers, one block. The Front Street and York Street towers each have their own lobby and elect half of the condo board.
- Shared with a rental. About 320 rental apartments share the block, and some spaces, like the courtyard and laundry rooms, are shared with them. See sharing a condo with a rental building.
- The gym is a club. The fitness center is a separate members-only club, not a residents' amenity.
- A brownfield site. The site is in a state brownfield cleanup, and any remaining obligations could show up in common charges.
- Sponsor control. The sponsor can rent unsold condos, so its control of the board may last a long time.

What to Ask Before You Buy
- How many homes have closed, and how many does the sponsor still own? Closings are public; contract counts are the sales office's word. See sales progress.
- Has the price list changed? Price changes are filed as amendments. See how to find offering plan amendments.
- Will the sponsor pay any closing costs? In a building with many unsold homes, it's worth asking. See closing costs for a new NYC condo.
- What are the common charges and taxes for this apartment? They're in Schedule A, and they vary a lot between buildings. Compare on the common charge benchmarks.
How This Is Counted
Closings are the deeds recorded in ACRIS, the city's property records, through September 2026. A home's first deed is its sponsor sale; later deeds are resales and are left out. Only deeds for a single apartment of $100,000 or more count toward the typical (median) price, and each building's median is compared with the median of its neighbors' medians. A building counts as still selling if it has closed under 95% of its homes and recorded a sponsor closing in the last 12 months.
