Big classic Soho building on prime Soho, lafayette st. No doorman, brand-new elevator. There is a space that is currently not configured as an apartment. Great light, wooden beams and columns, brick walls, but 2nd floor. Needs to be gutted entirely. What price per square foot would be considered a great deal?
700/sq ft (exclude stairs and elevator and exterior wall calculations) if bedrooms with windows are possible. maintenance no more than $1 per sq ft.
Sorry, $700 is the fair price.
It does depend on how many BRs you can wring out of the space, and how high the ceilings are, but I think $700/sq. ft. would be a great deal indeed for what's described above!

If you are looking at spring street natural building, $700 is fair. Smallish windows and lack of character of the building are offset by very low maintenance. Very busy corner!!
That's what I thought.
On another very similar but different note, what do you guys think of what they're asking for the second floor of 199 Lafayette? its also a 2nd floor, 8000 sq ft (!!!), currently a dance studio.
Appreciate the input.
1 square foot is worth practically nothing, as it is almost unusable.
On a different note: I'd want to know exactly where all the vent stacks are located and the sizing, what is the real ceiling height, EXACTLY what needs to be done to convert to residential (in fact, I'd probably demand it be delivered with a res C/O - if it's so easy, let them do it; if they won't do it, it's probably not so easy). And very importantly, what's the deal with the commercial space(s) below.
