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.

Facade safety — Local Law 11

Sales sourced from NYC Department of Finance recorded transfers (BBL 1-00539-0031) 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
This is a share-ownership cooperative. Despite the heavy owner-subletting profile, apartments are bought and sold as co-op shares with board approval.
Layouts are unusually varied. Loft-scale units, triplexes, and penthouse duplexes — a wide range within one building.
It sits in a historic district. The South Village Historic District regulates exterior changes; interior work follows co-op rules.
Location is prime Village. A block from Washington Square Park and NYU.
