About the building
112 Mercer Street occupies the Mercer end of a through-block store-and-loft property extending to Broadway. Charles Mettam designed the building in 1869, during SoHo's development as a commercial and manufacturing district. Its cast-iron architecture falls within the original 1973 historic district. The cooperative conversion dates to 1974, and the building retains commercial space at street level.
The residences include large lofts of approximately 3,500 square feet with direct elevator access. Their deep floor plates reflect the property's passage between two streets. Open living areas, internal rooms and long circulation spaces make the position of exterior windows particularly important to the layout. These are individually configured lofts in a small cooperative, with residential entrances on Mercer Street and a separate commercial frontage on Broadway.

The retrade record
Lines that have traded more than once in the public record — the building’s appreciation arc, apartment by apartment.
Sales sourced from NYC Department of Finance recorded transfers (BBL 1-00498-0018). Apartment-level facts (line, condition, asking-price context) curated and cross-verified in The Roebling Research Library. 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.

What to know if you’re buying
Historic live-work occupancy. City Planning records document a special permit for joint living-work quarters for artists on the upper floors. The purchaser's attorney should establish the apartment's current authorized occupancy and whether a later residential conversion applies to it. A conventional bedroom count does not settle that question.

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.
