450 Washington

A quick browse of ACRIS records doesn't turn up any resales. I don't understand the prices either (tiny studios!: #403: 443 s.f.), and particularly given the land lease situation.

what's the max in this building vs. others nearby with Hudson facing apartments / views?

A couple of those studios are in contract so it looks like it's an attractive proposition to some people. I can't imagine paying that in a land lease. Goes to show what they say about location.

Almost a million dollars for a 9 and a half foot wide apartment.

Perhaps not viewed as unusual when the 'local' newspaper is going on and on about $910 fleeces:

That article reads more like something that belongs in FT HTSI.

I'm not sure what to make of the modern era NYT. Trying to be all things to all people I guess.

Some mix of centrist objective news coverage, heavy team blue cheer leading, random agitprop op-eds to try to show both sides..

Then tons of social justice coverage juxtaposed with top-1% culture. This part to me feels the most out of touch.

I'd never heard of Hudson Square until recently. When was it coined?

On the commercial side it's been used for a while and well accepted. On the residential side it's largely a shrug.

MTH, at least ten years, maybe more. Used to be the printing district when we had that industry.

The building, 450 Washington, was a rental building converted to condo. It's a land lease building hasn't traded as competitively like prime West Village or Tribeca.
