A Private Pricing Opinion — what your apartment at 211 Thompson 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.
211 Thompson Street is a cooperative in the South Village, a block from Washington Square Park and NYU, within the South Village Historic District. The underlying structure dates to 1887; a major renovation in 1975 — when the building's fire balconies were installed — reshaped it into the loft-style cooperative it is today, which is why some marketing materials cite a 1975 build date.
The building offers unusual variety for its size: loft-like spaces, triplexes, penthouse duplexes, and units with private balconies, patios, and skylights. It is a genuine cooperative — owners hold shares — though many units are held by owners who sublet them, and both sale and rental listings appear.
Architecture and building operations
The six-story red-brick building carries a part-time doorman, a live-in superintendent, an elevator, and per-floor laundry. Many units include balconies or patios, and the layouts run to loft-scale and multi-floor configurations.

The latest available FISP filing classified the facade as Safe — no repairs were required at that inspection. Facade inspections run on a fixed five-year cycle; future inspection, repair, and any assessment decisions remain building-specific.
How to read this, and where it comes from
QEWI = Qualified Exterior Wall Inspector — the licensed engineer the city requires to sign the report (the independent expert, not the managing agent).
Penalties shown are amounts DOB assessed against filings on record across 2020–25 to 2025–30. The FISP dataset does not record whether they were paid, contested or remain open, so treat the figure as history rather than a current balance and confirm the building’s standing with the managing agent.

Market read. Most recent trades (2026) cleared a median $1,026/sf (floor-adjusted) across 2 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.

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.
