A Private Pricing Opinion — what your apartment at 114 West 27th 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.
114 West 27th Street is a twelve-story commercial loft building adapted into a cooperative with eighteen residences. Most residential floors contain two homes, while full-floor configurations occur higher in the building. Its deep floor plates, columns and tall windows retain the proportions of the original 1907 structure.
The cooperative is known as December Artists Apartments Corp. Large open rooms and flexible partitions are characteristic of its loft inventory. Half-floor homes are already substantial, generally around 1,650–1,850 square feet, while full-floor apartments have been recorded around 3,600 square feet.
Architecture and unit composition
Interior details include exposed brick, structural columns and beamed ceilings. Ceiling heights around ten to eleven feet and wide window openings give principal living rooms considerable volume. North- and south-oriented homes divide much of the residential inventory.
Long entrance galleries can separate the elevator arrival from the main living room. Open kitchens connect with broad living-and-dining areas, while interior partitions create offices and sleeping rooms farther into the plan. Some homes have large dedicated storage rooms in addition to closets.
These layouts do not all provide an exterior window to every enclosed room. A deep loft can contain an interior room ventilated through a transom or mechanical system while its main living area occupies the windowed frontage.
Building operations
Two elevators use controlled key-fob access. The lobby and elevator systems have been updated, and video surveillance supplements the entry system. A superintendent attends the property and can receive packages. Building storage is available, and in-unit laundry has been installed in the homes.
The cooperative's small residential inventory is spread through a relatively tall building, so the two elevators and exterior envelope serve fewer apartments than the height alone might suggest. The Class 2 tax lot sits within the MSX special district, with built floor area close to the stated residential zoning allowance.

Sales sourced from NYC Department of Finance recorded transfers (BBL 1-00802-0052) 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.

What to know if you’re buying
Interior sleeping rooms: Some lofts have enclosed sleeping areas without an exterior window. Mechanical ventilation or a transom does not by itself establish legal bedroom status; the approved use of those rooms needs to match the occupancy documents before they are counted as bedrooms.

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.
