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.

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.
