A Private Pricing Opinion — what your apartment at The Berkeley 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.
25 Plaza Street West is a six-story cooperative on the curved western side of Grand Army Plaza. Built in 1941 and classified by LPC as Colonial Revival, it combines a brick exterior and a formal entrance with apartments that include sunken living rooms, entrance foyers and corner exposures. Two common roof decks give the building an outdoor amenity above the surrounding street trees.
The distinction between a plaza view and a view into Prospect Park is especially relevant here. Apartments can look toward the landscaped berm and Grand Army Plaza, while other exposures face Berkeley Place, neighboring roofs or the interior of the block. The plaza includes substantial road space as well as planting; a description of a park-facing home needs to identify the actual direction of its windows.
The building sits within the Park Slope Historic District Extension II, designated in 2016. Its comparatively broad, low form is part of the district's twentieth-century apartment-house history. The entrance canopy and brick façade establish a different scale from the taller buildings around the plaza.
Architecture and unit composition
The inventory includes studios, one-bedroom homes and larger two- and three-bedroom arrangements. Sunken living rooms create a level change between the entrance or dining area and the principal sitting room. That small interior stair is an important physical feature for anyone assessing how to move through the apartment.
Many plans use a substantial foyer, with the kitchen and principal rooms reached from that entrance space. In larger homes, the foyer can help separate the bedroom circulation from the living room. Smaller apartments depend more heavily on how the entry, closets and kitchen fit around the main room.
Corner positions introduce additional windows and can give different rooms different outlooks. Some larger homes have several exposures, while compact studios and one-bedrooms can concentrate their windows along one side. The building's low height means that treetops, nearby roofs and the immediate street frontage all contribute to the view.
Original details include parquet or herringbone flooring, beamed ceilings, moldings and arched openings in portions of the inventory. Windowed kitchens and bathrooms also occur. Renovations have changed individual layouts and finishes, so a period detail surviving in one apartment doesn't mean it survives throughout the cooperative.
A sunken living room can also create a useful separation between dining and sitting areas without enclosing them. In a smaller plan, the level change can make those functions legible within a limited footprint. In a larger plan, the same feature can accompany a separate bedroom wing and a more substantial kitchen.
Building operations
The entrance has part-time doorman service, supported by a resident superintendent. Two elevators connect the six residential floors with common facilities. Central laundry, bicycle storage and additional storage serve the apartments, and on-site parking is available subject to allocation and availability.
The two roof decks have different outlooks across the plaza, surrounding Brooklyn rooftops and the broader skyline. They are shared amenities. Their availability does not create private roof rights for the upper-floor apartments, and furniture or plantings placed there remain subject to the cooperative's rules.
LPC designation makes the exterior a preservation matter. Work affecting visible windows, masonry or the entrance can require a different approval route from an ordinary interior renovation. This is particularly relevant to a building whose appearance depends on the repeated window pattern and the treatment of its brick frontage.
The property is in tax class 2, with no building-level abatement identified. Its built FAR is below the residential allowance shown in present zoning. Historic-district controls and the cooperative's ownership of common property are separate matters; the FAR gap doesn't give an apartment owner a right to add space.
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.

The latest available FISP filing classified the facade as Safe — no repairs were required at that inspection. A filed Safe grade is not a guarantee of current condition: owners still maintain the facade and, where required, observe parapets each year. Future inspection timing (Local Law 49 of 2025 changed the cycle framework from October 1, 2026), repair and any assessment decisions remain building-specific.
How to read this, and where it comes from
QEWI = Qualified Exterior Wall Inspector — a licensed professional engineer or registered architect who meets DOB’s FISP qualifications and signs the report (the independent expert, not the managing agent).
Penalties shown are amounts DOB assessed against filings on record across 2005–10 to 2020–25. 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 to date) cleared a median $1,150/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 -1.4% over ask.

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.
