Located at the intersection of Grand and Crosby Streets, 138 Grand Street is a historic cast-iron building constructed in 1869, originally designed by William Field & Son for clothing manufacturer Charles Hastings. This six-story structure features 17 co-operative apartments, characterized by their impressive ceiling heights of 12 feet and higher, large windows, and original architectural details that reflect its rich artistic legacy.
The building, known for its distinctive Second Empire style, showcases a rusticated base, large inset window openings flanked by Corinthian columns, and a mansard roof. Over the years, it has transitioned from a commercial warehouse to a residential co-op, with the upper floors converted for living space in 1977 by British pop artist Peter Gee. The building's historical significance is further highlighted by its designation as part of the SoHo Historic District.
Residents enjoy spacious loft-style apartments that often feature open layouts, modern upgrades, and preserved historic elements. Notable amenities include in-unit laundry facilities, high-end kitchens with stainless steel appliances, and expansive living areas ideal for both relaxation and entertaining. The building is pet-friendly and conveniently located near some of downtown's most popular restaurants and cultural attractions.
While the building has housed various commercial enterprises throughout its history, it has become a sought-after residence for artists and creative professionals, maintaining a vibrant community atmosphere. The combination of its architectural grandeur and prime location makes 138 Grand Street a unique offering in the competitive New York City real estate market.

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.
