A Private Pricing Opinion — what your apartment at City Hall Tower 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.
City Hall Tower stands on the southwest corner of Broadway and Warren Street, directly across from City Hall Park — one of the most historic and most transit-connected corners in Lower Manhattan. The eight-story Neo-Renaissance loft building went up around the turn of the last century as the flagship of Rogers, Peet & Company, one of America's first ready-made menswear concerns; the firm occupied the building for roughly seventy years before it was converted to a residential cooperative. The result is a true loft co-op with genuine commercial bones — high ceilings, oversized windows, and the wide, column-spanned floor-plates that retail and showroom space required.
For buyers, the draw is loft living at the gateway to Tribeca with extraordinary access: nearly every major subway line is within a few blocks, City Hall Park is across the street, and the restaurants and shops of Tribeca proper begin a short walk north. As a cooperative, it offers the value and community that downtown co-op lofts are known for, in a building with a clear historic identity.
Building operations
City Hall Tower runs as a residential cooperative with a live-in resident manager, central laundry, bike storage, individual basement storage, and video-intercom security at the entrance. As a co-op, purchases are reviewed by the board and clear through a board package and interview; financing and sublet policy are set by the board in the manner customary for downtown loft cooperatives, and buyers should plan for the standard co-op application process. The corner location, directly across from City Hall Park and atop the downtown subway hub, is the operational headline — among the most connected residential addresses in the city.
Architecture and residences
The façade is a handsome Neo-Renaissance composition in masonry, scaled to its prominent corner — the kind of solid, well-detailed commercial architecture that lined Broadway in the City Hall era. The conversion preserved the loft character that makes the building desirable: tall ceilings, large windows on the Broadway and Warren exposures, and the open, flexible floor-plates of a former retail-and-showroom building.
The residences are loft-scaled, many with corner light from the Broadway/Warren intersection and the long window lines that pre-war commercial construction provided. The co-op permits washer/dryers, and many homes have been individually renovated over the building's decades as a cooperative, combining loft volume with modern kitchens and baths. Each apartment comes with the practical infrastructure of a working loft building — basement storage, bike room, and a live-in superintendent on site.

The latest available filing classified the facade as Unsafe — conditions requiring prompt corrective action. The owner must install any public protection the inspector specifies (a sidewalk shed, construction fence or structural netting, depending on the condition) and make the repairs. Review the subsequent filings, the repair status, and the building’s board and financial materials — we pull the repair scope and funding picture for you.
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 (2025) cleared a median $1,458/sf (floor-adjusted) across 1 sale. 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 2.0% from the last ask — a recurring negotiation gap worth pricing into any offer or listing strategy.

What to know if you’re buying
This is a downtown loft co-op with a landmark address. Expect the cooperative process: a board package, an interview, and board-set financing and sublet policy — plan accordingly and let us help you assemble a strong application. The product to study is the loft itself: ceiling height, window line, and corner exposure vary across the floor-plates, and the renovated and corner homes are the premium inventory. The trade-off for the co-op process is value and access — loft volume across from City Hall Park, on top of the subway, with prices to be compared against matched surrounding condominium sales. We help buyers read the resale history and weigh City Hall Tower against the downtown loft market.
What to know if you’re selling
Lead with the address and the history. A loft across from City Hall Park, in the former Rogers, Peet flagship, on the city's deepest transit hub, is a distinctive story — and the loft proportions are the product downtown buyers come for. Benchmark to the downtown loft-cooperative market, comparing actual prices and costs with nearby condominium lofts. Present the loft's strengths — ceiling height, light, corner exposure, any renovation — and prepare the buyer for the co-op process early, so the board package moves cleanly. A well-presented corner or renovated loft competes against limited comparable supply.

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.
