## Property Overview

An Industrial Loft by MOS Architects

ARCHITECTURE & DESIGN
Reimagined by the award-winning MOS Architects, this residence transcends the traditional loft trope, blending the expansive scale of industrial living with the discreet privacy of a townhouse. Defined by a rare street-level entrance and a rigorous, interdisciplinary approach, the home serves as a liveable manifesto of the firm’s "radically inclusive" philosophy.
Every inch of the interior is a choreographed exercise in proportion. In lieu of ornamental excess, MOS utilizes a restrained palette of tactile materials, custom millwork, and precision-fabricated lighting to define the volumes. The result is a high-performance environment that treats everyday utility with the same reverence as fine art, proving that a home can be both an experimental gallery and a sanctuary for modern life.

BUILDING HISTORY
The Armory at 429 West 42nd Street was completed in 1929 as the headquarters of the 77th "Statue of Liberty" Division of the U.S. Army Reserve. Designed by L.C. Holden in the Art Deco tradition, the buff brick building anchors the corner of 42nd and 43rd Streets with geometric precision and quiet authority.
Converted to residential use in the early 1980s, the building now operates as a condop with 159 cooperative units, 24-hour doorman service and a resident superintendent.

Living Room
The main living space is defined by clarity of volume and precision of detail. Clean lines and controlled material transitions create a calm, gallery-like environment, allowing light and proportion to take precedence. The integration of custom lighting—featuring bespoke glass from the UK and metalwork fabricated in New York—adds both technical sophistication and subtle visual rhythm.

LOCATION
529 West 42nd Street sits within a continuously evolving urban landscape defined by Hudson Yards, the Hudson River waterfront, Midtown West, and the adjacent Theater District, where historic industrial infrastructure meets a contemporary architectural horizon. The residence engages this context while referencing New York's industrial past and the openness of its skyline today, creating a quiet dialogue between material heritage and modern city living.

Every row is a recorded transaction, including ancillary spaces such as storage and staff rooms where they were sold separately. Those are excluded from the benchmark below.

### How this price compares

The median closed price for comparable one-bedroom sales at The Armory is $830,000, based on 10 sales between September 2021 and January 2026. This home is asking $1,750,000, $920,000 above that median. The middle half of those sales closed between $781,250 and $849,875.

- **Median closed price**: $830,000
- **Middle half**: $781,250 – $849,875
- **Based on**: 10 one-bedroom sales at The Armory
- **Period**: September 2021 – January 2026

Square footage is recorded for only 4 of these 10 sales (40%), so no price per square foot is shown for this group. Co-op sales rarely carry a floor area, and a figure drawn from a handful of them would not describe the rest.

Across the 7 of these sales with a published asking price, the median closed at 96% of what it originally asked. 57% of them closed below the original ask.

### How these sales were negotiated

- **Sold vs original ask**: 96% of the original ask
- **Closed below ask**: 57% of 7 sales
- **Listed → in contract**: 122 days (about 17 weeks)
- **In contract → closed**: 96 days (about 14 weeks)

Across the 7 of these sales with a published asking price, the median closed at 96% of what it originally asked. 57% of them closed below the original ask.

Half of these homes were in contract within 122 days (about 17 weeks) of coming to market, based on the 5 with a recorded listing date.

Once a deal was agreed, closing took a further 96 days (about 14 weeks), based on the 5 with both dates recorded. A co-op board package and its interview account for much of that.

These are two separate periods measured on different clocks — time to find a buyer, and time from agreed deal to closing. They are medians of different sets of sales and do not add together into a single "days on market" figure.

Based on 10 one-bedroom sales at The Armory, September 2021 – January 2026. Each figure counts only the sales that recorded the dates it needs, which is why the denominators differ.

### Price trend

Median sold price for co-op one-bedroom sales in Hell's Kitchen, 2017 to 2025. The series is held to one bedroom count and one ownership type for the same reason: an unfiltered median tracks which apartments sold, not what they were worth.

| Year | Median sold price | Sales |
| --- | --- | --- |
| 2017 | $615,000 | 21 |
| 2018 | $706,250 | 18 |
| 2019 | $575,078 | 24 |
| 2021 | $549,000 | 28 |
| 2022 | $675,000 | 34 |
| 2023 | $607,000 | 16 |
| 2024 | $530,000 | 19 |
| 2025 | $575,000 | 26 |

This building does not have enough sales with a recorded floor area to chart its own price per square foot, which is usual for a co-op. The series above follows comparable homes across Hell's Kitchen instead.

Sale prices are the consideration recorded with the City in ACRIS, and each sale is dated by the day the City recorded it. A closing date reported to the MLS typically falls one to two weeks earlier. Recorded sales describe what has already happened and are not an appraisal, a valuation, or an estimate of what this home will sell for.
