Lower East Side condo prices rose more than any other neighborhood in Manhattan in the first quarter of 2018, a marked increase that was largely due to closings in a trio of pricey new developments: 100 Norfolk StreetFORSYTH and 215 Chrystie Street.

The average price/ft² on the Lower East Side was up 55% in the first quarter of 2018 as compared to the first quarter of 2017, according to an analysis by CityRealty. The average price/ft² in Q1 2018 was $2,059, as compared to $1,332 in Q1 2017. The number of closings in the neighborhood also jumped year-over-year, going from 13 in Q1 2017 to 44 in Q1 2018.

Exactly half of the condo sales on the Lower East in the first quarter of this year were in 100 Norfolk Street, FORSYTH and 215 Chrystie Street.
