XOCO 325 is among the most architecturally ambitious condominiums in SoHo's modern era — a DDG project whose sculptural cast-aluminum screen "melts" down the West Broadway façade in front of a glass curtainwall, a deliberate contemporary gesture inside the SoHo–Cast Iron Historic District. The name (Catalan for chocolate) nods to the site's history: the block held a 19th-century chocolate factory, last operated by Tootsie Roll and decommissioned in the mid-2000s.
The site has a story. An earlier LPC-approved "Chocolate Factory" condominium scheme stalled after a 2010 loan default in the wake of the financial crisis. DDG acquired the property in 2014, redesigned it, and completed the building in 2016 — and, in characteristic DDG fashion, commissioned the street artist Ben Eine to paint the construction scaffolding during the build.
For buyers, the result is a boutique, design-led condominium of roughly two dozen residences with full-service operations, a fitness center, a landscaped courtyard, a rooftop terrace, and many apartments with private terraces — a current building behind a one-of-a-kind façade, in the center of SoHo.
Architecture and unit composition
The 10-story building holds roughly 22 to 24 residences (sources differ on the exact count) plus ground-floor retail. The cast-aluminum screen, the vertical gardens, and the cantilevered rooftop "cornice" are the signature exterior moves; inside, the apartments carry a current luxury finish package with washer/dryers in every residence and private terraces on many units. The mix runs from full-floor and large simplex layouts up through a penthouse and a townhouse-scale residence.
Building operations
XOCO 325 operates as a boutique full-service condominium with a 24-hour doorman and concierge, a fitness center, a landscaped courtyard/garden, a rooftop terrace, private and bike storage, and package service. Service is scaled to the small unit count, and the building was marketed LEED-certified.
As a 2016 new-construction building, mechanical systems and the envelope are current. As with any condominium, buyers should review current financial statements, the reserve study, board minutes, and any active or planned capital projects during due diligence.
Recent sales
XOCO 325 prices as a top-tier SoHo trophy condominium. Recent closed sales have averaged in the high-$2,000s per square foot, with asking pricing higher; a combined penthouse-scale residence closed at $17.22 million in January 2023, and 2024–2025 asking prices have ranged from roughly $4 million up to a penthouse asking above $20 million, with a townhouse-scale unit in the high-$6 millions. As a condo, the unit-level variables — floor, exposure, whether a unit is full-floor or a penthouse, private outdoor space, and finish — drive most of the pricing spread, and the small unit count means comparable sales are infrequent and heterogeneous. Pricing is best read at the apartment level. Specific recent figures should be confirmed against current recorded transfers at offer stage.

Full closing history with price-per-square-foot over time, the complete retrade record, and every line that has traded.
Sales sourced from NYC Department of Finance recorded transfers (BBL 1-00228-7504) 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 from recorded condo declarations and offering plans.
What to know if you’re buying
The façade is permanent design value. A DDG cast-aluminum screen, approved inside the SoHo–Cast Iron Historic District, cannot be replicated. Buyers here are buying a specific, irreplaceable piece of architecture.
Confirm the unit count and floor plate. Sources differ on whether the building holds 22 or 24 residences; in a building this small, floor-by-floor specifics matter — verify the exact layout and outdoor space of any target unit.
Condo flexibility is real. 30–45 day closings; pied-à-terre, investment, LLC, trust, and foreign-buyer purchases are permitted under the declaration; subletting is allowed. Confirm current sublet and full pet rules with management at offer stage.
Mansion tax cliff effects are major. At this pricing, multiple cliff thresholds routinely apply. Run pricing through the Mansion Tax Calculator.
What to know if you’re selling
Lead with the architecture and the chocolate-factory story. The DDG pedigree, the cast-aluminum façade, the LPC approval, and the site history are the differentiators against generic SoHo new construction.
Penthouse and townhouse units are their own markets. Market the large-format residences distinctly from the full-floor apartments.
Closing timelines are condo-fast. 30–45 days from contract to closing.
