571 Hudson Street — known as The Liberty — is an 1892 Romanesque Revival warehouse in the heart of the West Village, converted to a cooperative in 1978 and set on one of the neighborhood's most desirable stretches near Bank and West 11th Streets. Its brownstone-and-terra-cotta facade, with arched top-floor windows, projecting piers, and a decorative cornice, is a handsome survivor of the late-19th-century Village and stands protected within the Greenwich Village Historic District.
What buyers respond to here is the combination of a genuine period warehouse envelope and a quiet, low-density West Village address. As a cooperative, The Liberty holds only 16 residential units across five floors — a boutique building with the intimate scale the West Village is prized for. The residences carry the loft character of the original warehouse, and the building offers the amenities that matter in a small co-op: an elevator, a common roof deck, laundry, and bike and common storage, on a leafy block a short walk from the Hudson River waterfront and the neighborhood's restaurants and shops.
This is a building for buyers who want an authentic West Village warehouse conversion — the architecture, the scale, the block — in a small, established cooperative.
Architecture and unit composition
The Liberty's Romanesque Revival facade is the building's signature: a brownstone-and-terra-cotta front in which the upper floors carry a rhythm of near-identical bays, the lower floors open with larger fenestration, and small arched windows crown the top beneath a decorative cornice and projecting piers. It is the vocabulary of the late-19th-century commercial Village, preserved within the historic district.
Inside, the 1978 conversion produced loft-character residences with the scale and light of the original warehouse — several homes finished with solid custom walnut floors and the open proportions the building's structure allows. With 16 residential units over five floors, the homes are individual rather than repetitive, and the building's low height gives many a quiet, light-filled feel over the surrounding streets.
Building operations
The Liberty runs as a boutique West Village cooperative: an elevator, a common roof deck, basement laundry, a bicycle room, common storage, video-intercom entry, and a part-time superintendent — a sensible package sized to a 16-unit building. Because it sits within the Greenwich Village Historic District, visible exterior work is subject to Landmarks review, which protects the facade but adds process to any alteration. As with any cooperative, buyers should confirm the board's financing limits, flip tax, and sublet policy in writing, and review the building's financials and reserves during due diligence.
Recent sales
As a cooperative, 571 Hudson Street prices on a per-room basis, the convention for co-op valuation, with well-configured warehouse-loft residences commanding a premium tied to the West Village address, the architecture, and the scarcity of the block. Because the building holds only 16 residential apartments, turnover is light — a small number of resales in any given year — and the building has a real trading record, with resales occurring over time. The comp set is thin and drawn from the immediate West Village co-op stock rather than from broader Greenwich Village averages. Apartment-level context — floor, exposure, room count, and condition — drives pricing far more than any building average.

Sales sourced from NYC Department of Finance recorded transfers (BBL 1-00634-0065) 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 on co-ops is not officially recorded, figures shown are approximate.
What to know if you’re buying
The West Village block and the architecture are the assets. The Liberty's Romanesque Revival facade and its quiet stretch near Bank Street are durable, defensible selling points that do not depend on market timing.
This is a boutique loft co-op. Elevator, roof deck, laundry, and storage for 16 residences — the value is in the warehouse-scale homes and the address, not in full-service amenities.
Landmark status shapes exterior work. Visible facade changes require LPC review; the protection preserves the block, but it adds process to any exterior alteration.
Underwrite to the co-op's board. Financing limits, flip tax, and sublet terms should be confirmed in writing before you commit; co-op board approval is part of the process.
Mansion tax thresholds apply. At this building's pricing, the $1M, $2M, and higher cliffs can be in play. Run pricing through the Mansion Tax Calculator.
What to know if you’re selling
Lead with the block and the architecture. The West Village address, the Romanesque Revival facade, and the warehouse-loft interiors are the marketing story; these are durable selling points.
Comp at the apartment level. With 16 heterogeneous units, floor, exposure, room count, and condition move the number more than any neighborhood average; build pricing from the building's own trades and the closest West Village peers.
Pace for a discerning buyer pool. The natural buyer specifically wants a West Village warehouse loft; that pool is committed but focused, and a targeted marketing strategy serves it best.
