164 Bank Street (Sopilia Soap Factory) is a 1890s former soap factory converted in 1981 to cooperative ownership — among the original West Village industrial conversions.
It is a building whose character is rooted in its 1890s soap-factory provenance, and in the 1981 early-conversion timing that put it among the first wave of West Village industrial conversions. The two combine in a 30-34-unit boutique scale that has kept the original loft fabric intimate.

Full closing history with price-per-square-foot over time, the complete retrade record, and every line that has traded.
Sales sourced from NYC Department of Finance recorded transfers (BBL 1-00638-7501) and verified listing data. Apartment-level facts (line, condition, asking-price context) curated and cross-verified by The Roebling Team research desk. Not all transactions cross-verify with ACRIS records — sponsor and LLC purchases sometimes record at stipulated values rather than market price; square footage on co-ops is not officially recorded, figures shown are approximate.
