Overview of 38 West 26th Street

38 West 26th Street is a 12 story pre-war co-op in NoMad, built in 1909 and converted from a former factory in 1984. Its 19 residences occupy a beige brick, mid-block building with a two story rusticated base, ground floor retail, and a cornice. The building is especially associated with large lofts, including full and half floor layouts with unusually generous proportions and flexible room arrangements.

Many apartments have ceilings around 10 to 12 feet high, oversized windows, hardwood floors, and open living areas suited to reconfiguration. The largest lofts extend to roughly 5,400 or 5,500 square feet, with broad window walls, multiple exposures, and layouts that can accommodate several bedrooms, offices, galleries, or live work space. Smaller lofts retain the same pre-war character, with open plans and adaptable configurations.

Building services include an on-site superintendent, video intercom, a roof deck, and private storage. The co-op is also described as permitting pets, pied-à-terres, and subleasing, subject to board policies. Apartment features that recur in the building include in-unit laundry, custom storage, high ceilings, and kitchens integrated into expansive living and dining areas.

The building is two blocks from Madison Square Park and close to Eataly, Fairway, Whole Foods, Trader Joe’s, restaurants, shops, and the Flatiron district. The surrounding blocks combine historic commercial buildings with newer dining and hospitality destinations, while the High Line is roughly a 10 minute walk west.

Sales History

Price/Room (Est)

Why are we displaying the estimated price per room?

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.
