100 Norfolk Street is the Lower East Side's most architecturally recognizable new condominium — Eran Chen and ODA Architecture's 2016 tower with a cantilevered, chiseled glass facade whose floor plates expand as the building rises, braced by exposed diagonal structural trusses. The form is the building's identity: rather than a flat extruded box, 100 Norfolk steps outward as it climbs, giving upper residences larger plates and the building a sculptural profile that has made it a landmark of the contemporary LES skyline. The triple-height lobby, with a sculpted wood wall and a fireplace, carries the same design intent inside.
The building sits in the heart of the Lower East Side's transformation — the blocks around Norfolk, Rivington, and Delancey that turned from tenement-era fabric into one of downtown's most dynamic neighborhoods, dense with restaurants, galleries, music venues, and the new residential supply that followed. 100 Norfolk is a 38-residence boutique condominium within that context: design-led, full-service for its size, and positioned for buyers who want architecture and downtown energy together.
This is a small building with a strong architectural signature. It competes less on amenity volume and more on the design itself — the cantilever, the trusses, the expanding plates — and on the LES location.
Architecture and unit composition
ODA's design produces residences that benefit from the building's expanding form — upper floors gain plate area and outdoor terms from the cantilever, and the glass facade delivers strong light. The mix runs from studios through three-bedrooms plus penthouses, with washer/dryers in the residences. The structural-truss expression and the chiseled massing are not decorative add-ons; they are the building's organizing idea, and they distinguish 100 Norfolk from the more conventional new condominiums nearby.
The 12-story scale and 38-unit count keep the building boutique, with a shared amenity set — fitness center and yoga room, roof deck, and a landscaped lounge with a gas fireplace — pitched above what the size alone would suggest.
Building operations
100 Norfolk Street operates as a boutique full-service condominium: 24-hour doorman, elevator, a fitness center with a yoga room, a roof deck with a grill, a landscaped outdoor lounge with a gas fireplace, a bicycle room, and private storage. Common charges reflect a small building with a real amenity package and a design-intensive envelope; buyers should model the full monthly carry and review reserves and any capital history during due diligence, as is prudent for any architecturally ambitious new-construction condominium now several years into occupancy.
Recent sales
As a condominium, 100 Norfolk prices on a price-per-square-foot basis, with the upper-floor residences — the ones that gain plate and outdoor space from the cantilever — carrying the building's premiums. Turnover is moderate for a building of this age and size; both resale and owner-rental activity occur, but it is an ownership condominium, not a rental building. Apartment-level context — floor, the cantilever benefit, exposure, outdoor space, and condition — drives pricing more than any building average, and the ODA design reputation supports pricing for residences that present the architecture well.

Apartment-level facts (line, condition, asking-price context) curated and cross-verified by The Roebling Team research desk.

What to know if you’re buying
The architecture is the asset. The cantilever, the structural trusses, and the expanding plates are the building's identity; the upper floors capture the most benefit from that form.
This is a boutique full-service building. Doorman, gym, roof deck, and a landscaped lounge — a strong package for 38 residences — but not a mega-amenity tower.
Condo flexibility is real. Pied-à-terre, subletting, foreign buyers, and LLC/trust ownership are permitted under the declaration; closings run on condo timelines.
Mansion tax thresholds apply. At this building's pricing, the $1M, $2M, and higher cliffs can be in play. Run pricing through the Mansion Tax Calculator.
Variable board financial policy — confirm at offer stage. Financing percentages and any sublet terms specific to your situation should be confirmed in writing before you commit.
What to know if you’re selling
Lead with the design. The ODA / Eran Chen attribution and the cantilevered, truss-braced form are the differentiators; marketing should foreground them.
Pricing requires apartment-level comps. With 38 residences, floor, the cantilever benefit, outdoor space, and condition all move the number.
Present the architecture. In a design-led building, photography and staging that read the form well support price.
