160 Wooster Street is a contemporary boutique condominium at the north edge of SoHo, delivered in 2003 and designed to sit comfortably against the neighborhood's loft context while offering the light and layouts of new construction. Rather than a single flat block, the building is composed as a six-story masonry base with a set-back central tower rising to eight stories — a massing that steps back from the street and is capped, in the SoHo idiom, by an exposed rooftop water tank.
What buyers respond to here is the combination of a prime north-SoHo position and a plan built around corner residences. Many of the 15 homes are corner apartments, which means dual exposures, good light, and the open layouts that a ground-up condominium can deliver where a converted loft building cannot. This is a boutique building — low-density and quiet — but with the amenity of purpose-built residences.
The building is for buyers who want a light-filled, contemporary SoHo condominium with corner exposures, in a boutique building on a prime block.
Architecture and unit composition
160 Wooster is an eight-story building composed as a masonry base with a set-back tower above, a massing that reads as contemporary but deferential to SoHo's scale. The set-back and the exposed rooftop water tank tie the building to the neighborhood's vocabulary while the ground-up construction gives it modern floor plates and systems.
Inside, the 15 residences are configured to take advantage of the building's position, with many laid out as corner homes benefiting from dual exposures and generous light. Because the building is new-construction rather than a conversion, layouts are efficient and open, and the specific residence — its floor, its corner orientation, and its exposure — is what drives value. The boutique scale keeps the building quiet and low-density.
Building operations
160 Wooster operates as a boutique condominium — intercom / video entry and elevator access rather than a large staff, with common charges scaled to a small building. That structure keeps monthly carry sensible for a 15-home building while delivering the reliability of contemporary construction. As with any condominium approaching its third decade, buyers should review reserves, any capital history, and the current financials during due diligence.

Facade safety — Local Law 11
The latest available FISP filing classified the facade as Safe — no repairs were required at that inspection. Facade inspections run on a fixed five-year cycle; future inspection, repair, and any assessment decisions remain building-specific.

As a condominium, 160 Wooster Street prices on a price-per-square-foot basis, with floor, exposure, corner orientation, layout, and condition driving value more than any building average. Turnover is light in a 15-home building, and both resale and owner-rental activity occur, but this is an ownership condominium rather than a rental building. The corner layouts, the light, and the north-SoHo position support pricing for homes that present well.

What to know if you’re buying
Corner light is the asset. Many residences are corner homes with dual exposures — a real advantage over converted loft buildings on the same blocks.
This is a boutique building. Fifteen homes across eight stories in a base-and-tower massing — low-density and quiet, with modest common charges rather than large-tower amenities.
New-construction reliability. Ground-up construction means modern floor plates, systems, and efficient layouts.
Condo flexibility is real. Pied-à-terre, subletting, 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.
Variable board financial policy — confirm at offer stage. Financing percentages and any sublet terms specific to your situation should be confirmed in writing before you commit.
What to know if you’re selling
Lead with the light and the corners. Dual exposures and the north-SoHo position are the differentiators; marketing should foreground them.
Pricing requires apartment-level comps. With 15 homes, floor, exposure, corner orientation, and condition all move the number.
Present the exposures. In a corner-residence building, photography that reads the light and the outlook supports price.
