A Private Pricing Opinion — what your apartment at 192 Water Street would likely sell for today, what it costs to sell, and what you’d walk away with — reviewed personally against condition, exposures, renovation quality, and the competition actually on the market.
About the building
192 Water Street began as a stable for the Jones Brothers' Grand Union Tea Company. Edward N. Stone designed the original building in 1898 and its two-story addition in 1905. The brick façade has segmental-arched windows, stone sills and a corbelled cornice. Alloy Development and Hamlin Ventures later converted it into nine condominiums, adding another level. The Attorney General accepted the condominium filing in May 2011; the DOB conversion provided five stories, a cellar and a first-floor mezzanine.
The homes retain exposed timber structure, brick walls and large windows, with ceilings averaging about eleven and a half feet. Most are expansive loft layouts, including three-bedroom homes, while penthouses have landscaped terraces and skylights. A smaller ground-level residence adds another layout type. The condominium also contains one commercial unit and two parking units, separate from its nine residences.

Sublet and pied-à-terre policy
A condominium owner leasing a unit and a co-op shareholder subletting are different rules, and a building-wide rule is different from a restriction on one apartment. This is the building's rule; confirm it for the specific apartment.

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.
