A Private Pricing Opinion — what your apartment at 29 East 22nd 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.
29 East 22nd Street is a boutique prewar loft cond-op on the Flatiron–Gramercy border, on the 22nd Street block between Broadway and Park Avenue South — equidistant from Madison Square Park to the west and Gramercy Park to the east. The building was constructed in 1907 as a commercial loft structure, part of the wave of early-20th-century loft buildings that filled the blocks around Madison Square as the area's commercial and light-manufacturing trades expanded. It was later converted to residential use, organized as a two-unit condominium whose residential unit a cooperative owns, and today holds 20 apartments across 12 floors.
The building's draw is the combination buyers consistently look for in this part of Manhattan: prewar loft volume — high ceilings, large windows, deep floor plates — in a cooperative ownership structure: apartments are shares and a proprietary lease, so financing, pied-à-terre and sublet terms are set by the cooperative's documents and board. The address itself is a genuine Flatiron–Gramercy location, walkable to two of the city's most-prized parks, to the Union Square transit hub, and to the Flatiron and NoMad restaurant and retail districts.
29 East 22nd Street is also a building with neighborhood texture: the block has a long-standing arts presence, and the ground floor carries commercial use consistent with the area's history. For a buyer who wants loft character in a central, park-adjacent downtown location, the building is a focused, boutique option.
Architecture and unit composition
The 1907 structure is a Manhattan commercial loft building of its period — a masonry facade organized around large window openings and the generous floor plates that loft and light-manufacturing use demanded. The building is noted locally for distinctive curved fire escapes and oversized windows, details that give the facade more character than the typical mid-block loft. The architect Frederick C. Zobel, associated with a number of Manhattan loft and commercial buildings of the era, is credited with the design; buyers who care about original attribution should confirm the architect of record against building filings.
In residential use, the building delivers the prewar loft qualities buyers prize: ceiling heights and window lines above the postwar norm, deep and flexible floor plans, and apartments built out from loft-style open layouts to more conventionally partitioned homes. With 20 units across 12 floors, the building runs to roughly one to two homes per floor — boutique density that supports larger, lower-density apartments than a typical mid-block elevator building.
As with any loft conversion, apartment-level features vary unit by unit — ceiling height, exposure, window count, and the degree of renovation are the primary drivers of value. Evaluate each home on its specific configuration.
Building operations
29 East 22nd Street is a two-unit condominium: a ground-floor commercial unit and a residential unit owned by a cooperative corporation. Apartment owners hold shares and a proprietary lease; maintenance funds the cooperative's building costs and the residential unit's real estate taxes, and purchases go through the cooperative board.
Specific amenities and the building's policies on pets, alterations, and the handling of the ground-floor commercial component are set in the offering plan, the condominium declaration and the cooperative's proprietary lease and house rules. Prospective buyers should confirm the current rules, the building's financial profile, the common-charge history, any assessments, and the status of building systems directly against current materials during due diligence; board specifics should be confirmed at offer stage.

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.

Recent sales
Apartment sales at 29 East 22nd Street are share transfers. Read them on price per square foot and apartment-specific configuration, and price against Flatiron–Gramercy loft co-ops and cond-ops first, with deeded loft condominiums as a second set adjusted for tenure. It is an amenity-light, boutique loft conversion, not a new-development tower.
Within that register, value tracks the usual variables — floor, exposure, light, ceiling height, square footage, layout, and renovation condition — with the prewar loft premium attaching to homes that retain genuine volume and original character. Larger, higher, better-lit, and recently renovated apartments command the building's premium. Because the building is small, in-building comparable sales are episodic; pricing any individual apartment requires reading both in-building history and the broader Flatiron–Gramercy boutique loft market. Recent specific transactions should be confirmed against current public records at the time of any inquiry.

What to know if you’re buying
This is a prewar loft cond-op — underwrite the volume, the conversion and the share structure. Value tracks square footage, ceiling height, light, and condition. Confirm the as-built square footage and layout, and price on a per-square-foot basis against comparable loft apartments, adjusting for co-op versus condominium tenure.
You are buying cooperative shares, not a deed. Plan for a board package, share-loan financing and the cooperative's own financing, sublet and pied-à-terre rules — confirm each with the managing agent. Our Co-op vs Condo guide covers the distinction.
Diligence the building's finances and the commercial component. Review the common-charge history, the reserve position, any assessments, and how the ground-floor commercial space is structured within the condominium — the latter can affect both common charges and building operations.
Location is central and park-adjacent but lively. The block sits between Madison Square Park and Gramercy Park with excellent transit, and carries the day-and-night activity of a central downtown district. Visit at multiple times to confirm fit.
Allow for a co-op timeline. Board review adds time between contract and closing; confirm the board's schedule with the managing agent.
What to know if you’re selling
Lead with loft character and the park-adjacent location. The building's structural selling points are prewar loft volume and a genuine Flatiron–Gramercy address between two marquee parks. Apartment-specific marketing should foreground the home's exposure, light, ceiling height, and renovation condition.
Price on apartment-level comparables. With a small in-building sample, anchor pricing to recent sales in the building and to comparable loft apartments across the Flatiron–Gramercy market on a per-square-foot basis, adjusted for tenure.
Prepare buyers for the board. Purchases need the cooperative board's approval. Explain the cond-op structure early and have the application requirements ready.

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.
