100 BARCLAY STREET
One Hundred Barclay is a Yield-Oriented asset that behaves like a high-grade corporate bond: it delivers excellent, consistent income (rent) but suffers from principal erosion (price depreciation). Post-sponsor analysis reveals a "falling knife" scenario for valuation, where the artificial premium of the 2016 launch has evaporated, resulting in systematic losses for original owners selling in 2024–2025. While the building is a rental powerhouse—generating 5.5%–6.0% gross yields on current basis—it is a dangerous equity play. Buyers should only engage if the purchase price reflects the new baseline ($1,500–$1,700 PPSF), aggressively discounting the 2017 sponsor trades.
150 Charles Street
150 Charles Street acts as a "Blue Chip" Hybrid asset that has successfully burned off its initial sponsor premium to enter a phase of genuine structural appreciation. Post-sponsor behavior shows a bifurcation: A-grade lines (high floor/views) are Appreciation-Driven compounding assets, while standard lines are Yield-Oriented, generating elite rental income ($150/SF+) with moderate capital appreciation. Income capture is highly efficient with low rental vacancy. The primary risk is liquidity duration; sellers of larger units must be prepared for 6+ months of DOM to achieve premium pricing.
300 East 79 Street
300 East 79 Street is a Yield-Oriented boutique condo that acts as a capital trap for equity investors. Despite the NYXRCSA index hitting record highs (331.14), this building's pricing power has structurally regressed, with 2024–2025 resales clearing 13–20% below their 2014–2016 peaks. It explicitly underperforms the Upper East Side market by 21.6%. While 2BR units offer moderate rental utility ($7,950/mo), the building suffers from significant liquidity drag (median DOM ~196 days) and fails to compound value for long-term holders. Investors should view this strictly as a consumption purchase, assuming zero appreciation.
Trump Place Condominium (120 Riverside Boulevard)
Trump Place Condominium (120 Riverside Boulevard) is a Hybrid asset that has shifted toward a Yield-Oriented profile as capital appreciation has stalled over the last decade. While the building maintains a robust 1BR rental market, the Effective Annual Rent is often undermined by high rental DOM, leading to significant income leakage. Investors should focus on high-demand 2BR stacks (like the D-line) that maintain a structural PPSF premium, while avoiding the "commodity" 1BR units that suffer from mean-reverting pricing and extended resale friction.
