139 Wooster Street is a design-led boutique condominium in the heart of SoHo — a 2006 building by Beyer Blinder Belle, the firm best known for the restoration of Grand Central Terminal, set on one of the neighborhood's most atmospheric cobblestoned blocks between Prince and Houston Streets. Rather than a single tower, the building is composed as two connected structures joined by a landscaped garden with a waterfall, a plan that gives residences light and quiet on interior exposures and a rare sense of calm in the middle of SoHo.
What buyers respond to here is the pairing of a serious architectural pedigree with SoHo's most desirable location. The design blends the neighborhood's cast-iron references with an understated modern language, and the 16 residences are laid out to benefit from the garden and the block's cobblestoned character. This is a boutique, low-density building — full-service in the ways that matter, with 24-hour door staff and a garden courtyard — on a stretch of Wooster that anchors the SoHo shopping, gallery, and dining district.
The building is for buyers who want a quiet, design-forward SoHo condominium with the light and privacy that its two-structure, garden-centered plan delivers.
Architecture and unit composition
Beyer Blinder Belle's design divides the building into two connected structures joined by a landscaped garden with a waterfall — a move that turns interior exposures into an amenity and softens the density of the SoHo block. The architecture reads as understated modern, drawing on the cast-iron vocabulary of the surrounding historic district without imitating it.
Inside, the 16 residences are configured as spacious, well-finished condominium homes, many oriented to the garden courtyard for light and quiet. The two-structure plan and the cobblestoned Wooster Street setting give the building a distinct character among SoHo's condominiums — architectural and calm rather than loud. This is a low-density building where the quality of each residence and the garden-centered plan drive value.
Building operations
139 Wooster Street operates as a boutique full-service condominium: 24-hour door staff, monitored security, a landscaped garden courtyard with a waterfall, and a fitness room. That is a sensible, well-judged package for a 16-residence building — services and a genuine outdoor amenity without the overhead of a large tower. Common charges reflect the staffing and the garden; buyers should model the full monthly carry and review reserves and any capital history during due diligence, as is prudent for a boutique condominium approaching two decades of occupancy.

Recent sales
As a condominium, 139 Wooster Street prices on a price-per-square-foot basis, with floor, exposure, garden orientation, outdoor space, and condition supporting the building's premiums. Turnover is light for a boutique building of this age and size; both resale and owner-rental activity occur, but it is an ownership condominium, not a rental building. Apartment-level context — floor, exposure, layout, and condition — drives pricing more than any building average, and the Beyer Blinder Belle design and the SoHo location support pricing for residences that present well.

What to know if you’re buying
The garden and the design are the assets. The two-structure plan, the landscaped courtyard with its waterfall, and the Beyer Blinder Belle pedigree are the differentiators; garden-facing light is a real feature.

The SoHo block is part of the value. The cobblestoned stretch of Wooster between Prince and Houston is among the neighborhood's most desirable; location supports price.
Condo flexibility is real. Pied-à-terre, subletting, foreign buyers, and LLC/trust ownership are permitted under the declaration; closings run on condo timelines.
