One Vandam is a boutique limestone condominium on the eastern edge of SoHo, where the loft district meets Greenwich Village and Hudson Square. With only 25 residences across 14 stories, it sits in the small-building, low-density category that defines the most desirable downtown condominiums — buyers here are paying for scarcity, light, and a building small enough that the amenity package and service feel genuinely private rather than institutional.
The architecture is the building's signature. BKSK Architects designed a wedge-shaped tower clad in Alabama "Silver Shadow" limestone, with an irregular window rhythm that reads as deliberately contemporary rather than a pastiche of the cast-iron warehouses around it. That posture was a requirement, not a choice: the site falls within the 2010 extension of the SoHo–Cast Iron Historic District, so the design passed Landmarks review. The result is a stone tower that is unmistakably new but sits in conversation with its protected neighbors.
Daily life is organized around a small, full-service program. There is a 24-hour doorman, a fitness center with a yoga studio, a residents' lounge with a catering kitchen, and a landscaped roof and garden terrace — a real outdoor amenity that is rare in a building this size. Every residence has its own washer and dryer.
Architecture and unit composition
The 25 residences run from full-floor and large simplex layouts to penthouses with private outdoor space. Interiors by Studio DB pair the building's stone exterior with warm, restrained finishes — wide-plank floors, open kitchens, and substantial glass. The wedge geometry of the site produces apartments with unusual light exposure for downtown, and the irregular fenestration gives many units oversized windows.
This is a SoHo loft-district location without the walk-up tradeoffs of a converted cast-iron building: full elevator service, modern mechanicals, in-unit laundry, and central air throughout.
Building operations
One Vandam operates as a full-service luxury condominium. There is a 24-hour doorman, a full-time superintendent and porter, a fitness center, a residents' lounge, private storage, and the landscaped roof terrace. The service staffing is generous relative to the 25-unit count, which is part of what buyers pay for here.
As a 2010s new-construction building, mechanical systems and the envelope are current, and the building has not carried the defect profile associated with the supertall category. As with any condominium, buyers should review current financial statements, the reserve study, board minutes, and any active or planned capital projects during due diligence.
Recent sales
One Vandam prices as a boutique SoHo trophy condominium, with recent resales in the low-$2,000s per square foot and larger and penthouse-grade residences commanding more. As a condo, the unit-level variables — floor, exposure, outdoor space, and finish condition — drive most of the pricing spread, and the small unit count means comparable sales are infrequent and heterogeneous. Pricing is best read at the apartment level rather than from a single building average. Specific recent figures should be confirmed against current recorded transfers at offer stage.

Sales sourced from NYC Department of Finance recorded transfers (BBL 1-00504-7501) 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 from recorded condo declarations and offering plans.
What to know if you’re buying
This is a small building — supply is the story. With 25 residences, inventory turns over slowly. When the right floor and exposure come available, it is worth moving decisively; comparable layouts may not reappear for a long stretch.
Condo flexibility is real. 30–45 day closings; pied-à-terre, investment, LLC, trust, and foreign-buyer purchases are permitted under the declaration; subletting is allowed. Confirm any current sublet or financing parameters with management at offer stage.
The location is a deliberate trade. You are at the SoHo / Hudson Square / Greenwich Village seam — quieter than central SoHo, with fast access to the West Village and the rest of downtown.
Mansion tax applies. At this price point the 1% mansion tax floor and higher cliff thresholds are in play. Run pricing through the Mansion Tax Calculator.
What to know if you’re selling
Lead with the architecture and the light. The limestone exterior, BKSK pedigree, and the wedge geometry's exposure advantages are the differentiators against generic downtown new construction.
Scarcity is leverage. With few resales in the building, a well-prepared listing can set the comp rather than chase one.
Closing timelines are condo-fast. 30–45 days from contract to closing.
