12 West 131st Street is a four-story 1910 townhouse in Central Harlem, between Fifth and Lenox Avenues, that is being converted into four condos. The sponsor is 12 West 131 St LLC, led by Asaph Haimoff. The 2 and 3 trains at 135th Street are about a 5-minute walk.
Where Things Stand
The offering plan for 12 West 131st Street was submitted to the New York State Attorney General on November 2, 2026, and is awaiting acceptance. No homes are for sale yet, there is no public pricing, and reservations can't be taken. Across the 55 Brooklyn projects I've tracked from filing to acceptance, most were accepted 5 to 9 months after filing (about 7 months is typical), which points to acceptance between roughly April and August 2027.

The Numbers So Far
Four residences in a four-story townhouse with about 3,800 square feet of floor area, so the homes likely average a little under 1,000 square feet, likely two-bedroom layouts. The offering plan projects a total sellout of about $4.4 million, an average of about $1.1 million per home. A newer building filing under review shows a possible fifth story and fifth home, so the final count could change. Final unit mix and pricing will be released once the plan is accepted.
Buying in a New Development?
New construction works differently than a resale: offering plans, sponsor contracts, closing costs and timelines all have their own rules.
A Closer Look at the Building
Built in 1910, the house is a four-story townhouse on a residential block of West 131st Street. Rather than tearing it down, the conversion takes the existing building from two units to four, so the facade and the scale of the block stay the same. It is a walk-up, and the plan's floor plans will show how the floors split into homes and which ones get outdoor space once it's accepted.
Harlem Highlights
Central Harlem pairs some of Manhattan's best preserved rowhouse blocks with busy commercial corridors along Lenox Avenue, Frederick Douglass Boulevard and 125th Street. The Schomburg Center and Marcus Garvey Park are both close by.
The 2 and 3 at 135th Street, about a 5-minute walk

Katie's Take
I track every new development filing in Manhattan before it reaches the market, and this one stands out for its price point. At about $1.1 million per home, 12 West 131st Street has the lowest projected price per home of any Manhattan offering plan I'm tracking, and it is a four-home townhouse conversion rather than a large new building. The next milestone is acceptance, likely between April and August 2027, which is when pricing comes out.
