195 Prince Street is a boutique SoHo loft condominium set on one of the neighborhood's quietest and most residential blocks — the tree-lined stretch of Prince between Sullivan and MacDougal, west of the retail intensity of SoHo's core. The building is a converted masonry loft in the character of the Cast Iron District: brick, tall windows, and the loft-scale proportions that define downtown living, delivered in a low-density, 15-residence package.
What buyers respond to here is the combination of SoHo address and residential calm. This is not a doorman tower or a glassy new-construction condominium; it is an intimate walk-up loft building where each floor holds only a handful of homes and where the block feels more village than shopping district. For a certain kind of downtown buyer — one who wants authentic SoHo loft character without the crowds — that quiet is the point.
The building is for buyers who want a genuine SoHo loft condominium on a residential block, with the flexibility of condo ownership and the scale of a boutique building.
Architecture and unit composition
195 Prince is a five-story masonry loft building of the type that fills SoHo's side streets — brick, generously scaled windows, and interiors that read as lofts rather than conventional apartments. Converted to residential condominium use, the building holds 15 homes across its five floors, a low-density configuration that keeps the building quiet and the common areas simple.
Inside, residences carry the loft vocabulary buyers come to SoHo for: high ceilings, exposed brick in many homes, and open, light-filled layouts. Most homes include an in-residence washer/dryer. Because the building is boutique and walk-up, floor level and exposure matter — light and outlook vary meaningfully from home to home, and layouts range across the building's floors.
Building operations
195 Prince operates as a boutique walk-up condominium — intercom entry rather than a staffed lobby, with common charges scaled to a small, low-overhead building. That structure keeps monthly carry modest relative to full-service SoHo towers, which is part of the appeal for buyers who want loft character without doorman-building costs. As with any boutique building of this age, buyers should review the building's reserves, any capital-improvement history, and the current financials during due diligence.
Recent sales
As a condominium, 195 Prince Street prices on a price-per-square-foot basis, with floor, exposure, layout, ceiling height, and condition driving value more than any building average. Turnover is light in a 15-home building, and both resale and owner-rental activity occur, but this is an ownership condominium rather than a rental building. Apartment-level character — the loft feel, the light, and the condition of the specific home — is what moves pricing here.

What to know if you’re buying
The block is the story. This quiet, residential stretch of Prince is among SoHo's calmest; the address gives you SoHo without the retail crush.
This is a boutique walk-up. Fifteen homes, no staffed lobby — modest common charges and genuine loft character rather than tower amenities.
Loft character varies by home. Ceiling height, exposure, light, and layout differ across the building; evaluate the specific residence, not a building average.
Condo flexibility is real. Pied-à-terre, subletting, foreign buyers, and LLC/trust ownership are permitted under the declaration; closings run on condo timelines.
Mansion tax thresholds apply. At this building's pricing, the $1M and $2M cliffs can be in play. Run pricing through the Mansion Tax Calculator.
Variable board financial policy — confirm at offer stage. Financing percentages and any sublet terms specific to your situation should be confirmed in writing before you commit.
What to know if you’re selling
Lead with the loft character and the block. The authentic SoHo loft feel and the quiet, tree-lined setting are the differentiators; marketing should foreground both.
Pricing requires apartment-level comps. With 15 homes, floor, exposure, ceiling height, and condition all move the number.
Present the light. In a walk-up loft building, photography that reads the ceiling height and natural light supports price.
