A Private Pricing Opinion — what your apartment at 57 Laight 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.
About the building
57 Laight Street has a narrow Laight Street frontage and a much longer elevation along Collister Street. Horgan & Slattery acted as both architects and developers of the 1892–93 store-and-loft building. Orange ironspot brick, rounded brick pier edges, sandstone bands and tall arcades organize the two facades beneath a projecting metal cornice. Cast iron frames openings at the lower stories. Its commercial occupants included the Denver Chemical Manufacturing Company, food importers and, by the mid-twentieth century, a paper warehouse.
The cooperative now has one residence per floor, with direct access from a key-locked elevator. Upper-floor lofts include plans of approximately 1,900 square feet, with open living areas and rooms arranged along the building's two street exposures. The long Collister Street frontage adds windows along the side of the building. The ground-level residence has a substantially larger footprint than the typical upper-floor loft.

What to know if you’re buying
The cooperative's six households support a landmarked building with two substantial street facades. Brick arcades, sandstone trim and the metal cornice are shared restoration obligations, and the corner location expands the exterior area maintained by this small association. Alterations to those protected elevations require LPC review.

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.
