United States, 6th Apr 2026 — Undivided, a boutique NYC luxury residential brokerage, today announced the launch of the Undivided Value Index: a transparent, expert-weighted scoring framework designed to help discerning buyers evaluate and compare luxury condominium buildings in New York City.
The Value Index addresses a structural gap in how NYC condo buyers make decisions. Most building evaluations rely on brand recognition, broker opinion, or marketing materials. None of these reflect the financial fundamentals, building systems quality, or long-term resale dynamics that actually determine whether a purchase holds its value over time.
“Right now, there is no structured way to compare buildings in this market,” said Mukul “Micky” Lalchandani, founder and managing broker of Undivided. “Buyers rely on pricing and broker narratives, but those don’t always reflect reality. The market is driven more by perception than measurable value. This is what the Undivided Value Index is built to solve.”
The Value Index rates each building across eight weighted categories:
- Accessibility and location fundamentals
- Amenity ROI and actual usefulness
- Financial fundamentals (reserves, common charges, assessments)
- Building systems quality and maintenance
- Sustainability and LEED credentials
- Appreciation drivers and neighborhood trajectory
- Supply, absorption, and market liquidity
- Home functionality, layout efficiency, and building policies
Scores are updated quarterly. No developer or sponsor can pay to influence a rating. The methodology draws on publicly available data combined with Undivided’s direct market experience in the buildings evaluated.
The Value Index launches with four scored buildings in Manhattan’s Flatiron and Nomad neighborhoods, with plans to expand to additional areas in subsequent quarters. Scores at launch range from 80 to 92 out of 100, reflecting the firm’s focus on prime buildings where data is most robust.
The tool is designed for buyers spending $5 million or more on a NYC condominium — a segment where purchase decisions often involve significant capital but limited access to the kind of structured building analysis that private equity or institutional buyers routinely conduct.
“Someone spending $10 million should not have to rely on a glossy brochure,” Lalchandani said. “They deserve the same analytical rigor applied to any serious investment decision.”
