155 Perry Street is a former newspaper factory turned condominium on one of the West Village's most beautiful cobblestone blocks — a quiet stretch between Washington and West Streets, steps from the Hudson River Park esplanade. Built around 1920 and converted to residential use in 1984, the eight-story building holds 32 apartments, four per floor, and has earned a reputation as an elegant, exceptionally well-run, and stable building in a neighborhood where character and discretion are prized above almost anything.
The appeal is the West Village at its most authentic, delivered as a condominium. The block is cobblestoned and low-rise; the building's halls and lobby are notably tasteful, finished with Florentine stucco walls and dark wood paneling. As a condominium, 155 Perry offers fee-simple ownership, flexible financing, and — a point owners emphasize — extremely low common charges, a reflection of how conservatively and efficiently the building is run.
For a buyer who wants a loft-influenced home on a storybook Village block, with the practicality of a roof deck, a bike room, and pet-friendly rules, and the flexibility of condominium ownership, 155 Perry is a rare and durable choice — close to the river, to Brooklyn Fare, and to the restaurants and shopping that define the West Village.
Architecture and unit composition
The building began life as a newspaper factory, and its industrial bones inform the residences — the volume and window lines of a converted loft building, reworked in 1984 into 32 condominium homes. At four apartments per floor across eight stories, the building is intimate, with quiet hallways and many homes enjoying more than one exposure on the low-rise, cobblestoned block.
The conversion produced loft-scaled layouts within the period structure, and the building's common spaces are a point of pride: meticulously maintained halls and a lobby finished in Florentine stucco and dark wood paneling. Shared amenities are practical and well-kept — a common roof deck for open-air lounging, a bike room, private storage, video security, and laundry on each floor — and the building is pet-friendly.
Building operations
155 Perry operates as a boutique condominium with a full-time superintendent and a reputation for being exceptionally well-run. As a condominium, it offers fee-simple ownership without a co-op board process: purchases clear through a right-of-first-refusal rather than a board interview, financing is not subject to co-op-style caps, and pied-à-terre use, subletting, and ownership through trusts or entities are customary. The building is pet-friendly, and its common charges are notably low — a direct result of the conservative, efficient way the condominium is managed and a meaningful advantage for owners.

What to know if you’re buying
The buying case is location, character, and a well-run building. You are buying a loft-influenced condominium on one of the West Village's prettiest cobblestone blocks, steps from the Hudson River Park, in a building known for its elegant common spaces, low common charges, and stable management — all in fee-simple condominium form with the financing and resale flexibility ownership provides. The building is pet-friendly and carries the practical amenities that make daily life easy.
Diligence runs along condominium lines, though the building's reputation for sound operation is a genuine reassurance: review the reserve fund and capital-project history, the condition of the converted-industrial structure and roof, and the specifics of any unit's light, layout, and storage. Floor and exposure drive value here far more than raw square footage, and the four-per-floor plan means many homes enjoy multiple exposures worth confirming.
What to know if you’re selling
Sellers lead with the building's distinctive combination: a converted-factory condominium on a cobblestone West Village block, with elegant common spaces, a roof deck, pet-friendly rules, and famously low common charges. In a neighborhood where buyers prize authentic character and discretion, that package — storybook block, loft character, sound and economical operation — is a powerful story.
Benchmark pricing to the West Village loft-condominium set, adjusting for floor, light, layout, and renovation, and emphasize the building's low common charges and well-run reputation, which resonate strongly with buyers. Presentation should capture the cobblestone block, the loft volume, and the roof deck — points that help a well-prepared listing stand out given how little comparable inventory the 32-unit building produces.
