The Amalgamated Dwellings is a 6-story pre-war co-op built in 1929 at 504 Grand Street in Manhattan's Lower East Side, containing 237 units. The building showcases Art Deco architecture inspired by Vienna, featuring wide arched entrances, intricate plasterwork, and windowed corridors. The complex is organized around private landscaped courtyards with fountains, creating a serene environment that evokes a charming throwback to an earlier era amid the bustling neighborhood.
Apartments throughout the building retain original pre-war character with hardwood floors, high ceilings ranging from 8'10" to over 9 feet, and windowed kitchens and bathrooms in most units. Many residences feature multiple exposures and original details like fluted glass doorknobs, inlaid contrast wooden floorboard strips, and original plaster cove ceilings. Unit sizes range from 700 SF one-bedrooms to oversized flex four-bedroom homes, with some apartments created by combining two original units. Several units offer floor-through layouts with dual exposures for enhanced natural light and cross-ventilation.
Building amenities include 24 hour security, a fitness center, modern laundry facilities, bike storage, a community room, package room, and live-in superintendent with on-site maintenance staff. The co-op permits pets with board approval, allows gifting, guarantors, and pied-à-terre ownership, and permits subleasing after 2 years of ownership with fees. The building maintains classic European-style elevators and windowed hallways as part of its original design.
The location provides convenient access to neighborhood dining including Kiki's, Bacaro, Dimes, and Essex Market, plus nearby Trader Joe's and Target. Luther Gulick Park sits directly behind the complex with basketball courts, ping pong, handball, a waterpark, and playground. East River Park is within walking distance, offering waterfront recreation and ferry access. The building is also adjacent to cultural venues including the Abrons Arts Center and Harry De Jur Playhouse.
Transportation options include the F, J, M, and Z trains at nearby Delancey/Essex station, plus M14A, M14D, M21, and M22 bus lines. The building's prime Lower East Side location places residents steps from Chinatown, Little Italy, and the East Village, with multiple Citibike stations nearby. The area offers easy access to neighborhood staples including Doughnut Plant, Kossar's, and Regal Cinemas, making it a historically rooted and vibrant corner of New York City.

For some co-ops, instead of price per square foot, we use an estimate of the number of rooms for each sold apartment to chart price changes over time. This is because many co-op listings do not include square footage information, and this makes it challenging to calculate accurate square-foot averages.
By displaying the price per estimated room count, we are able to provide a more reliable and consistent metric for comparing sales in the building. While we hope that this gives you a clearer sense of price trends in the building, all data should be independently verified. All data provided are only estimates and should not be used to make any purchase or sale decision.
