A Private Pricing Opinion — what your apartment at 161 Hudson would likely sell for today, what it costs to sell, and what you’d walk away with — reviewed personally against condition, exposures, renovation quality, and the competition actually on the market.
161 Hudson Street is a Tribeca condominium in a former warehouse built in 1911 and converted to residential use in 2004.
The building stands at Hudson and Laight Streets in Tribeca West, near neighborhood dining, shops and Hudson River Park.
Architecture and unit composition
The 1911 buff-brick and limestone facade has neo-Renaissance detailing, a large cornice and a bandcourse above the second floor.
The 24 residences include large floor-through loft plans with open living volumes and extensive window lines, adapted during the 2004 conversion. Confirm individual dimensions, ceiling heights, finishes and exposures against the apartment plans and an in-person inspection.
Building operations
Staffing and amenities include a part-time doorman, a full-time superintendent, a common roof deck and storage. Pied-à-terre use, sublets, pets and foreign-buyer ownership are described as permitted under the declaration; confirm the current terms for the proposed use and ownership structure.
As with any boutique condominium, the small unit count means common charges spread across fewer residences; buyers should review the current budget, reserve position, and any planned capital projects during due diligence.

Monthly carrying charges in recent sales
- Common charges alone, per square foot
- $1.21 per square foot a monthMedian of 3 listings since October 2023 that give the annual taxSource: listing records, refreshed October 2026

- $1.71 per square foot a monthMedian of 3 listings since October 2023 that give the annual taxSource: listing records, refreshed October 2026
Common charges plus real estate taxes, combined into one monthly figure the way New York condominium listings show them. Add a mortgage payment for the monthly outlay. The split into common charges and taxes comes from the listings that also give the annual tax, a different sample, so the two lines need not add up exactly to the combined median; a tax abatement can hold taxes below the full amount until it expires. A summary of recorded sales and listings, not a current bill; charges change.

The latest available filing classified the facade as SWARMP — Safe With A Repair and Maintenance Program: the inspector (QEWI) identified conditions requiring monitoring or repair, with repairs due by the deadline stated in the filing. The scope, timeline, and how the building funds the work are building-specific — we review the filings and board materials for you.
How to read this, and where it comes from
QEWI = Qualified Exterior Wall Inspector — a licensed professional engineer or registered architect who meets DOB’s FISP qualifications and signs the report (the independent expert, not the managing agent).
Penalties shown are amounts DOB assessed against filings on record across 2005–10 to 2020–25. The FISP dataset does not record whether they were paid, contested or remain open, so treat the figure as history rather than a current balance and confirm the building’s standing with the managing agent.

Recent sales
161 Hudson is a small condominium, and pricing is best read at the apartment level rather than from building-wide averages. Tribeca boutique condominiums price primarily on dollars per square foot, with the specific residence's floor, exposure, light, ceiling height, outdoor space, and renovation state driving variation around the building's overall range.
Large floor-through plans, privacy and loft proportions are features to evaluate in each apartment; any premium over newer high-rise residences requires dated, matched sales. Pricing in the segment is sensitive to floor and exposure — compare actual light and outlook rather than assuming corner and upper-floor residences lead per-square-foot pricing — and to actual carrying costs. Review the budget and governing allocations; unit count alone does not establish each apartment’s charges. Assess the actual number and dates of comparable sales at 161 Hudson, and supplement with suitable Tribeca loft condominium sales where needed; unit count alone does not establish data scarcity.
We do not publish speculative pricing for this building. Apartment-level comparable analysis, current asking and closed-price context, and a pricing read for a specific residence are provided directly to clients at offer stage.

Market read. Most recent trades (2026 to date) cleared a median $2,134/sf (floor-adjusted) across 1 sale. Floor-adjusted means each sale is restated to a constant mix of floors, so the figure can differ from the plain median of the sales listed above. Median listing discount 2.3% from the last ask — a recurring negotiation gap worth pricing into any offer or listing strategy.

What to know if you’re buying
Inspect actual light and outlook. Visit the apartment at different times of day; corner siting alone does not establish its exposures or natural light.
Small-building economics apply. With 24 residences, common charges are spread across fewer units. Review the current budget, reserve study, and any planned capital projects during due diligence, and model the full monthly carry (common charges + property taxes + utilities + insurance).
Condo flexibility is real. Condominium ownership permits pied-à-terre and investment use, foreign-buyer ownership, and subletting under the declaration, with a typical closing estimate of 30–45 days.
Mansion tax thresholds apply. At Tribeca loft pricing, the mansion tax and its cliff thresholds routinely apply. Run pricing through the Mansion Tax Calculator.
What to know if you’re selling
Pricing requires apartment-level context. Review the available sale dates and apartment attributes, including floor, exposure, light, ceiling height, outdoor space and renovation state, before judging the depth of the comparable set. Pricing should draw on both in-building history and the wider set of comparable boutique Tribeca loft condominiums.
Document the apartment. Supply a measured floor plan, ceiling heights and photographs showing the actual window lines and condition.
Closing estimate. Condominium sales typically run 30–45 days from contract signing to closing.

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.
