130 Barrow Street is one of the West Village's most distinctive loft conversions — a 1931 truck garage transformed into a residential condominium in 1983 by the Stephen B. Jacobs Group. The conversion was a critical success at the time, winning the National Association of Home Builders' Grand Award (Builders' Choice) and a Certificate of Modernization Excellence, and it remains a benchmark for how industrial fabric on the far West Side can be reimagined as loft living.
The building's identity is its interior. Rather than a conventional lobby-and-corridor plan, 130 Barrow is organized around a glass-roofed atrium garden with mature ginkgo trees, viewed through glass-walled elevators — a genuinely unusual gesture that gives the building its character. The apartments are predominantly duplex lofts with high ceilings; several carry private terraces, wood-burning fireplaces, or river views, and there is at least one maisonette with a private gated entrance and garden.
The location is deep West Village — Barrow Street between Washington and West Streets, roughly half a block from Hudson River Park, near the High Line and the Meatpacking District, with the 1, A/C/E, and B/D/F/M trains and PATH within reach. For buyers, 130 Barrow offers loft-scale living, real architectural character, and one of Manhattan's most desirable residential neighborhoods.
Architecture and unit composition
The six-story building converts an industrial garage into loft residences with roughly 14-foot ceilings on many lines, hardwood floors, and a stark masonry exterior with a setback top floor that gives the building a low-rise, almost Parisian profile on the block. The apartments are predominantly duplex lofts, with duplex penthouses carrying private terraces and Hudson River views; interiors on many lines include high-end kitchens, wood-burning fireplaces, and in-unit laundry.
The building's unit count is reported differently across public records — roughly 68 in the original 1983 conversion, with current tax-lot counts running higher (into the 80s and 90s), likely reflecting subsequent subdivisions and any commercial condominium units. A prospective buyer should confirm the exact residential count and the specific apartment's configuration against the offering plan and current records.
Building operations
130 Barrow Street operates as a boutique condominium without a doorman: a live-in resident manager, the signature interior atrium garden with glass elevators, a landscaped roof deck with Hudson River views, a bicycle room, resident storage, and a package room. There is no fitness center. Because this is a loft conversion of an early-20th-century structure, buyers should pay particular attention during due diligence to the building's mechanical and envelope condition, reserves, and any capital history, as is prudent for any converted industrial building of this vintage.
Recent sales
As a condominium, 130 Barrow prices on a price-per-square-foot basis, with the loft scale, the duplex configurations, private outdoor space, and the deep-West-Village location supporting premium pricing. Recent activity has run in the vicinity of the high-$1,600s to low-$1,700s per square foot. Within the building, the duplex penthouses with terraces and river views, and the maisonette with its private garden, carry the premiums; floor, ceiling height, outdoor space, and condition drive pricing more than any building average.

What to know if you’re buying
The lofts and the atrium are the asset. The duplex configurations, high ceilings, and the interior ginkgo garden are the building's identity; the penthouse and maisonette units capture the most distinctive space.
This is a boutique, non-doorman building. A live-in super, atrium garden, and roof deck — real character for a small building — but not a full-service doorman tower.
Diligence on the conversion applies. As a 1930s garage converted in 1983, the building rewards careful review of mechanicals, envelope, reserves, and capital history.
Condo flexibility is real. Pied-à-terre, subletting (with board paperwork), foreign buyers, and LLC/trust ownership are permitted under the declaration; closings run on condo timelines.
Mansion tax thresholds apply. At this building's pricing, the $1M, $2M, and higher cliffs can be in play. Run pricing through the Mansion Tax Calculator.
What to know if you’re selling
Lead with the loft and the location. The duplex scale, the atrium-garden character, and the deep-West-Village address are the differentiators; marketing should foreground them.
Present the space well. In a loft building, photography and staging that read the volume and the outdoor space support price.
Price per square foot against the right comps. With a heterogeneous unit mix, floor, configuration, outdoor space, and condition all move the number.
