A Private Pricing Opinion — what your apartment at 38 North Moore 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.
38 North Moore Street occupies a double-width commercial building that Franklin Baylies designed for Hugh Getty in 1902. Its ten loft residences retain the depth and ceiling heights of a warehouse, with separate east and west apartment arrangements behind the broad façade. The building belongs to the Tribeca West Historic District, which protects this portion of the neighborhood's commercial architecture.
Residential ownership is organized as a cooperative within a condominium that also contains a commercial lot. That structure gives the building two distinct ownership components while the apartments themselves transfer as cooperative interests.
Architecture and unit composition
The six-story Renaissance Revival building is approximately 50 feet wide and 80 feet deep. Its broad floor plates have been divided into east and west lofts, served by elevators on both sides. North- and south-facing windows support layouts that extend through the building, and some homes also have eastern exposure.
Apartments include two-bedroom loft configurations with substantial living and dining areas. Renovations have introduced additional bathrooms and enclosed rooms within the original open volumes. Ceiling heights reach approximately 12 feet in upper-floor homes, and the top floor includes skylights. The elevator arrangements provide direct, controlled access to the residential levels.
The commercial base has a separate history of adaptation. A 2006 DOB application by architect Matthew Bremer proposed converting cellar and first-floor warehouse and storage areas to retail use, while retaining the ten residential dwellings above. That filing concerns the commercial premises, not the original architectural design.
Building operations
The condop has one residential condominium tax lot and one commercial tax lot. The cooperative holds the residential component, so the relationships among the cooperative, commercial owner and condominium are important to shared building expenses. The roof, exterior and elevator systems serve a relatively small residential population despite the property's substantial floor area.
Landmark designation applies to the building's exterior. Changes to street-facing windows and visible rooftop work are subject to LPC review. The property also appears on DOB's Local Law 97 covered-buildings list, making building-energy compliance relevant even with only ten apartments. Apartment count alone does not determine the scope of those obligations.
Recent sales
Eight individual residential transactions have closed since 2003, most recently in January 2025. Turnover is intermittent, and several homes have changed hands more than once. Upper-floor lofts have generally occupied the stronger part of the building's range, with light, ceiling height and renovation affecting the result.
Unit-level transaction history is maintained in The Roebling Research Library and shared with clients during diligence.

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.
