75 Henry Street is a 32-story co-op tower in Brooklyn Heights, part of the Cadman Plaza complex that was planned by Robert Moses in the late 1950s and completed in 1973. The building contains 352 apartments and was developed by S. Pierre Bonan, with final design by Glass & Glass and Whittlesey & Conklin. The yellow brick tower features three white piers on its main façade with two balcony bays, and sits on a landscaped plaza elevated 17 steps above street level. The site holds historical significance as the location where Walt Whitman set type for the first printing of "Leaves of Grass" in 1855, with bricks from the original Rome Brothers Print Shop incorporated into a planter near the subway entrance.
The building offers full service amenities including a 24 hour doorman, on-site manager and superintendent, fitness center, community room, bike room, indoor garage with rentable parking, and a planted terrace garden with separate playground. Storage is available on each floor. The building permits 80% financing and pied-à-terre ownership, though it maintains a strict no dogs policy.
Apartments range from alcove studios to four bedroom units, with many featuring private balconies and sweeping views of the Manhattan skyline, Brooklyn Bridge, harbor, and Cadman Plaza Park. Common features include oversized windows, open kitchens with breakfast bars, generous closet space including walk in closets and dressing areas, and en suite bathrooms in primary bedrooms. Corner units offer particularly expansive layouts, with some two and three bedroom apartments featuring living rooms exceeding 30 feet in length. The building also includes approximately 16 townhouse units called Whitman Close, offering two story layouts with private gardens.
The location provides immediate access to the Brooklyn Heights Promenade, Brooklyn Bridge Park, and numerous restaurants including neighborhood favorites like Noodle Pudding and Henry's End. Multiple subway lines (2, 3, A, C, R, F) are nearby, offering one stop access to Manhattan. The building sits across from Cadman Plaza Park on a stretch between Orange and Pineapple Streets, placing residents in the heart of historic Brooklyn Heights.

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.
