165 Christopher Street is a 1964 Far West Village waterfront-adjacent cooperative with an indoor garage — among the largest postwar West Village cooperatives at 214 units.
Scale is what sets the building apart first: at 214 units, it operates at a size few West Village cooperatives reach. That scale underwrites an indoor garage uncommon among the neighborhood's co-ops, and the whole sits in a Far West Village waterfront-adjacent location that completes the profile.

The retrade record
Lines that have traded more than once in the public record — the building’s appreciation arc, apartment by apartment.
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 1-00636-0022) 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.
