A Private Pricing Opinion — what your apartment at 105 East 16th Street would likely sell for today, what it costs to sell, and what you’d walk away with — reviewed personally against condition, exposures, renovation quality, and the competition actually on the market.
105 East 16th Street is a 1914 loft building whose residential inventory includes full-floor homes and an unusual rooftop residence with a freestanding cottage. Contemporary construction reporting identifies Charles B. Meyers as architect and Hyman & Oppenheim as the owners commissioning the store-and-loft project.
The fourteen cooperative residences sit within a property divided into residential and commercial condominium lots. That structure separates the residential cooperative from the commercial component at tax-lot level while retaining cooperative ownership for apartment purchasers.
Architecture and unit composition
The original 1914 proposal described a twelve-story store-and-loft building; city records identify the present building as ten stories. Its broad loft floors support both full-floor apartments around 4,000 square feet and smaller divided floors with homes around 1,650–1,850 square feet.
Open plans, beamed ceilings and oversized windows reflect the loft structure. Full-floor homes can have several exposures, while subdivided floors produce smaller apartments with a more limited share of the perimeter. Central air conditioning and in-unit laundry are present in renovated residences.
The rooftop configuration combines a main apartment with a detached cottage set among terraces and planted outdoor levels. The cottage has a pitched ceiling, and the outdoor areas are arranged at several heights. This accommodation has its own building form above the main loft floors.
Building operations
A part-time superintendent and professional outside management serve the building. Entry uses a video intercom. Bicycle storage and private locked storage are available, with the latter subject to availability.
The residential cooperative occupies one Class 2 condominium lot; the commercial component occupies a separate Class 4 lot. Apartment ownership therefore involves cooperative shares within the residential portion of a larger mixed-use property. The building has no general tax abatement.

Sales sourced from NYC Department of Finance recorded transfers (BBL 1-00872-7501) and verified listing data. Apartment-level facts (line, condition, asking-price context) curated and cross-verified by The Roebling Team research desk. Not all transactions cross-verify with ACRIS records — sponsor and LLC purchases sometimes record at stipulated values rather than market price; square footage on co-ops is not officially recorded, figures shown are approximate.

How to read the facts on this page. Items attributed to an offering plan describe the building as it was offered at that filing — unit mix, square footage, the amenity program as planned. They are not a statement about how the building operates today. Tax and compliance figures are sourced separately to current City records and carry their own dates. House rules, staffing and fee policy can change by board resolution without any public filing: treat every policy line here as a starting point for diligence and confirm it with the managing agent. Where this page compares one building or neighborhood to another, that is our analysis of the recorded record — it names the measure, the period and the sample it rests on, and it is an observation about medians rather than a prediction about any particular apartment.
