Gramercy Park Habitat

The exterior is the building's heritage: a Renaissance Revival industrial structure in striking bi-color brick with cast-iron ornament, the work of Brunner and Tryon, who designed it as a brewery in 1896. The 1986 conversion preserved that industrial character while carving the interior into loft homes.

The 64 residences are the draw — soaring ceilings ranging from roughly 11 to 14 feet, supported by original pine posts and wood beams, with exposed brick walls, wood-burning fireplaces, oversized windows, hardwood floors, and open, loft-style layouts. Floor plans run from convertible and one-bedroom lofts through expansive four-bedroom homes, with the most dramatic volume in the larger and lower-floor units. The architecture is precisely what new construction cannot replicate, and it is the building's enduring asset.

Gramercy Park Habitat runs as a full-service boutique condominium. There is a 24-hour doorman, a renovated lobby, an on-site garage, bicycle and common storage, and laundry on every floor. As a condominium, resale clears through a right-of-first-refusal rather than a co-op board admissions process; confirm financing, pied-à-terre and investment ownership rules in the current declaration and bylaws. The building is pet-friendly, and the loft layouts accommodate in-unit washer/dryers in the loft tradition.

Recent closings at this building, from The Roebling Research Library. Prices are the transfer amounts recorded with the NYC Department of Finance; apartment-level detail is checked against the building’s own file in The Roebling Research Library before publishing.

Market read. Most recent trades (2026 to date) cleared a median $1,766/sf (floor-adjusted) across 3 sales. Floor-adjusted means each sale is restated to a constant mix of floors, so the figure can differ from the plain median of the sales listed above. Median listing discount 2.4% from the last ask — a recurring negotiation gap worth pricing into any offer or listing strategy.

Sales sourced from NYC Department of Finance recorded transfers (BBL 1-00903-7501; each condominium apartment is its own tax lot). Apartment-level facts (line, condition, asking-price context) curated and cross-verified in The Roebling Research Library. 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.

Buying here is buying authentic loft architecture at a Gramercy address. There is no co-op board package or interview — purchases clear a right-of-first-refusal; confirm financing, pied-à-terre and investor ownership rules in the declaration and bylaws. The brewery's character is the asset: ceiling height, exposed beams and brick, and wood-burning fireplaces are difficult to find and hold value. The full-service structure — doorman, on-site garage, per-floor laundry — adds convenience rare in a converted industrial building. Evaluate each home on ceiling height, light, and layout; the larger and lower-floor lofts carry the grandest scale. We help buyers read the offering plan and benchmark the home against the broader Gramercy and downtown loft market.

Lead with the loft. A resale here sells on what the rest of Gramercy cannot offer: 11-to-14-foot beamed ceilings, exposed brick, wood-burning fireplaces, and a true industrial pedigree, a block from the park. Benchmark to the Gramercy and downtown loft set, not to the refined pre-war co-op stock — the buyer for this home wants character and scale. The condominium structure and full-service operation — doorman, garage — are selling points that widen the buyer pool and speed closing. Presentation that showcases the volume, brick, and fireplaces produces the best results.
