155 Perry Street

Overview of 155 Perry Street

155 Perry Street was built in 1920 as a newspaper factory, once home to the Italian American newspaper Il Progresso, and converted to a 32 unit condominium in 1984. The eight story white brick building sits on a cobblestone street between Washington and West Streets, just a block from Hudson River Park. The building features a distinctive rusticated tapering arch entrance adorned with decorative medallions, and offers four units per floor for enhanced privacy. Amenities include a full time superintendent, video security, bike room, storage, laundry on each floor, and a common roof deck with views of the Village and Hudson River.

Apartments typically feature prewar loft characteristics with soaring ceilings ranging from 11 feet 6 inches to nearly 15 feet, many with exposed beams. Wood burning fireplaces, oversized windows with southern and eastern exposures, and wide plank hardwood floors are common throughout. Corner units offer particularly impressive light and city views stretching from the World Trade Center to the Empire State Building. Kitchens are outfitted with high end appliances including Sub-Zero refrigerators, Miele, Bosch, and Dacor ranges, often with marble or granite countertops.

The penthouse units are especially notable, with PH8B designed by award winning interior designer Jamie Drake of Drake/Anderson. These top floor residences feature private roof decks measuring approximately 800 to 1,000 square feet with sweeping Hudson River views and downtown vistas. The building maintains remarkably low common charges, with one listing noting monthly fees of just $402.80. The building permits pets and pied-à-terre ownership, though it has no doorman or garage.
