242 Lafayette Street is a five story, 10 unit pre-war co-op in SoHo, built in 1910 and converted in 1986. With two apartments per floor, the boutique building retains the proportions and character of a classic loft property, including an updated lobby and a virtual doorman and intercom system.
The apartments are organized around flexible loft layouts, including open plan studios and floor through homes with sleeping areas and home offices that can be reconfigured. Many have high tin ceilings, generally ranging from roughly 10 feet 5 inches to 13 feet, along with exposed brick, original columns and beams, wide plank or original wood floors, and oversized windows. East, west, and north exposures recur, with several homes oriented for light from both sides of the building and views along Lafayette Street.
Open kitchens, substantial storage, and washer/dryers are recurring features, while bathroom layouts include deep soaking tubs, separate showers, and steam showers. The building's apartments have also been configured as one and two bedroom homes, with flexible partitions and office areas supporting different arrangements.

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.
