112 Prince Street, designed in 1889 by Richard Berger for L. Sachs & Bro., is a classic six-story cast-iron building in the Neo-Grec style situated in the heart of SoHo. The building features five spacious residential units, with its façade characterized by slim, free-standing columns separating each set of windows and a distinctive cast iron parapet with a sunburst motif.
The building gained additional prominence in 1975 when artist Richard Haas created a large trompe l'oeil mural on its east façade, incorporating real windows and whimsical details like painted cats peering from 'open windows.' The mural became so beloved that public protests in later years helped protect it from adjacent development.
Originally home to fur importers and later James Thompson & Company's textile manufacturing, the building has been thoughtfully converted to residential use while maintaining its industrial character. The units feature soaring 11-12 foot ceilings, original architectural details, and generous proportions, with some apartments spanning up to 2,500 square feet.
Notable past residents include Maya Lin, the designer of the Vietnam Veterans Memorial, who sold her apartment in 2014 for $4.1 million. The building has been modernized with amenities including central air conditioning, a new automatic elevator, a roof deck, and private storage while preserving its historic integrity.
The building's location at the intersection of Prince and Greene Streets places it at a prime SoHo crossroads, surrounded by designer boutiques, galleries, and restaurants. The structure represents a perfect blend of historic architecture and contemporary living, with just five exclusive residences in one of Manhattan's most sought-after neighborhoods.

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.
