About the building
178 Suffolk Street is a six-story loft cooperative just south of Houston Street. Built in 1910, it has six residences with broad interior spaces, large windows and substantial ceiling heights. Exposed brick and open living areas remain features of the apartments. Residential layouts extend between east and west exposures.
Upper residences include full-floor, two- and three-bedroom lofts of approximately 2,000–2,200 square feet. Renovations have introduced enclosed bedrooms, in-unit laundry and central air conditioning in selected homes. At the base, a larger duplex opens to a planted stone courtyard and has a garage-style street door. Its rooms occupy two levels, with outdoor areas adjoining the interior. The shared roof deck provides additional outdoor space for the cooperative, separate from the lower home's courtyard.

The retrade record

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 1-00350-0007) 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.

What to know if you’re buying
The building has six stories and no elevator. Upper-floor lofts require several flights of stairs, and the common roof deck adds another climb. That access arrangement affects moving, furniture deliveries and routine use of the roof, even though the apartments themselves have large floor plates.

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.
