40 West 17th Street is a 12 story cooperative loft building in Chelsea, completed in 1910 and located in the Ladies Mile Historic District. Built as a Beaux Arts store and loft building, it originally housed button and apparel sellers. One penthouse duplex extends over multiple levels and culminates in a glass enclosed solarium and a private roof terrace with skyline views.
The mid block façade between Fifth Avenue and the Avenue of the Americas is faced in limestone, terra cotta, and brick. Its two story rusticated limestone base, broad arched windows, decorative upper stories, and cornice retain the building's early 20th century character, while the 12 story structure contains 21 cooperative apartments.
The residences are organized as true lofts, with ceiling heights generally ranging from about 10.5 to 12 feet, oversized windows, hardwood floors, and open living areas. Two and three bedroom layouts recur, along with flexible offices or dens, split bedroom arrangements, southern or skyline exposures, and views toward the Empire State Building, One World Trade, or downtown Manhattan. In unit washer and dryers and central air conditioning are also recurring apartment features.
The pet friendly co op has a part time superintendent, video intercom, keyed entry, and a liberal sublet policy. It sits one block from Union Square and close to Madison Square Park, with Chelsea, Greenwich Village, the West Village, and Gramercy within walking distance; restaurants, shops, and multiple subway lines are nearby.

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.
