12 West 17th Street is a pre-war co-op in the Flatiron District, completed in 1925 and built as a limestone and brick store and loft building for apparel firms. The building sits within the Ladies’ Mile Historic District, and its commercial past included a zipper factory and a Buster Brown hosiery operation before the property was converted to cooperative use in the early 1970s.
At 12 stories and 12 units, the building is organized around full floor loft residences, giving the apartments an unusual degree of privacy. The layouts are typically expansive and flexible, with ceilings above 10 feet, oversized windows, and multiple exposures, most often north, east, and south. Full floor plans have been configured as two to four bedroom homes, with rooms that can sometimes be adapted to create additional bedrooms or office space.
Building features include a video intercom, private basement storage, weekday superintendent service, and pet friendly policies. The apartments retain loft characteristics such as open proportions, hardwood floors, exposed structural or industrial details, and broad skyline or roofline views, while renovated homes may also have central air conditioning, laundry rooms, and updated kitchens and baths.
The building is just over a block from Union Square, including its year round Greenmarket, and is close to the shops and restaurants of Chelsea, NoMad, Gramercy Park, and the West Village. Whole Foods, Trader Joe’s, Eataly, and restaurants such as Gramercy Tavern and Eleven Madison Park are also 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.
