When we wrote about 105 Lexington Avenue two weeks ago, we didn’t realize that it was part of the same project as 95 Lexington Avenue next door. (Turns out that the same developer bought both buildings and filed to combine the two back in 2006.) Number 95, which is being marketed as the Lofts on Lex by Corcoran, had already been on the market for a week at the time. Now, after being offered for just three weeks, prices on 11 of the 20 units have been cut in the range of 5 to 10 percent; the biggest and most expensive units have not been reduced. This looks like a pretty nice project overall and we bet would be selling better if it were one block further west on Lexington. We’re still surprised that finished loft space for around $500 a foot isn’t stimulating stronger buyer interest. Anyone been inside these?
