About the building
Vision Lofts occupies a seven-story prewar building on West 18th Street. Its residential conversion included an alteration by architect Leonard Herczeg that changed several upper floors to apartments. The work was permitted in February 2002 and signed off in October 2010. The completed building has six residences, with commercial accommodation also forming part of the condominium. It stands outside a designated historic district between Sixth and Seventh Avenues.
Full-floor homes have direct keyed-elevator access, broad living areas and separate bedroom accommodation. Large windows provide north and south exposures, with additional west-facing windows in some layouts. Ceiling heights of approximately nine and a half feet and open kitchen arrangements retain the spatial character of a loft conversion. Washer/dryers are installed within homes; storage is available in the building. The intercom controls entry from West 18th Street.

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.
