116 West 14th Street — known as "Union Lane" — is a twelve-story loft condominium at the convergence of Greenwich Village, Chelsea, and Flatiron, between Sixth and Seventh Avenues. Built around 1912 as a turn-of-century loft and converted to condominium in 1997, it holds approximately 19 to 20 residential units above two commercial floors.
The proposition is loft-like living at one of the best-connected corners downtown. Many homes have been combined into larger two- and three-bedroom layouts, and the building offers a finished roof deck and a live-in superintendent. Near the F/M/L at 14th/6th and the 1/2/3 at 14th/7th, it puts a buyer at the seam of three of Manhattan's most desirable neighborhoods.
Building operations
The condominium runs lean and loft-appropriate: a video intercom, a key-locked elevator, common storage, a finished roof deck, and a live-in superintendent, with no doorman — the right service level for a boutique loft building, and a factor in keeping common charges contained. The finished roof deck is a meaningful amenity at this scale, and the building is not landmarked.
As a condominium, ownership is by deed: purchases are subject to the condominium's right of first refusal rather than board approval, and financing, pied-à-terre use, and subletting are generally more flexible than in a co-op.

Recent sales
Condo pricing is read on a price-per-square-foot basis, and 116 West 14th trades at Village/Chelsea loft levels — roughly in the $1,300–1,800/sf range in feel, depending on the home. With only about 19 to 20 residential units and many combined into larger layouts, resale volume is thin, with a small number of closings in an active year. When underwriting a purchase or a list price, isolate the residential units from the commercial floors, and capture the floor, whether the home is a combination, the exposure, and renovation condition rather than relying on a neighborhood average. Genuinely variable financial figures should be confirmed at offer stage.

Sales sourced from NYC Department of Finance recorded transfers (BBL 1-00609-7502) and verified listing data. 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
This is a condominium, so the path is a purchase application and the condominium's right of first refusal rather than a board interview — a more flexible process than a co-op on financing and use. Read the house rules on the points that matter to you, review the condominium's reserve and any planned capital work given the building's age, and confirm the split between residential and commercial floors. The reasons to buy are the location and the layouts: loft-like combined homes at the seam of Greenwich Village, Chelsea, and Flatiron.
What to know if you’re selling
The story is the location and the loft scale. The turn-of-century architecture, the 1997 conversion, the combined two- and three-bedroom layouts, and the finished roof deck sell to a specific buyer who wants loft living at a well-connected corner. Pricing is an apartment-specific exercise: floor, combination status, light, and condition drive the number more than any block average. We position the building's amenities and combined layouts, isolate the residential comps from the commercial floors, and benchmark against the right tier of Village and Chelsea loft condominiums.
