The Chocolate Factory

The industrial structure permits large, open living areas with columns carried through the interiors. Exposed ductwork, oversized windows and ceilings commonly described at approximately 13 to 14 feet remain characteristic features. Interior mezzanines use part of that height to create sleeping or work areas above the principal living space.

The smallest bedroom count does not necessarily identify the smallest apartment. Open studios can have substantial floor areas, while a loft advertised with additional sleeping space may depend on a raised platform with lower headroom. Some homes have enclosed rooms; others preserve an uninterrupted living-and-dining volume with stairs rising within it.

Renovations have produced substantial variation in the treatment of those platforms. Some incorporate offices, storage beneath the stairs or more than one elevated area. Kitchens generally open to the main room. Central heating and air conditioning and in-unit laundry are present in numerous apartments, alongside the original factory structure.

Private outdoor space includes patios and balconies in selected homes. These belong to a smaller subset of apartments and are distinct from the shared planted roof. Window orientation also varies across the building's broad footprint, so the largest lofts do not all have the same exposure or outlook.

The condominium's shared facilities center on the roof deck and enclosed gym, with elevator access, a virtual doorman and bicycle storage serving daily use. The planted roof includes native grasses, flowering plants and sedum, together with circulation and seating areas. Its operation combines a recreational amenity with a living roof system that needs ongoing planting and drainage maintenance.

The original conversion and later roof work are separate phases of the building's history. The present roof is an association asset; its membrane, plantings and gym enclosure form a more involved capital component than an unoccupied flat roof. That scope is relevant when assessing the condominium's recurring roof-care costs and future replacement planning.

The building has no current development tax abatement in the DOF record. Each residential condominium lot is Class 2. The mixed manufacturing-and-residential zoning and built floor area reflect the building's industrial origin and subsequent residential conversion.

Recent sales

Recent closings at this building, from The Roebling Research Library. Prices are the transfer amounts recorded with the NYC Department of Finance; apartment-level detail is checked against the building’s own file in The Roebling Research Library before publishing.

Market read. Most recent trades (2026 to date) cleared a median $846/sf (floor-adjusted) across 4 sales. Floor-adjusted means each sale is restated to a constant mix of floors, so the figure can differ from the plain median of the sales listed above. Median listing discount 1.4% from the last ask — a recurring negotiation gap worth pricing into any offer or listing strategy.

Sales sourced from NYC Department of Finance recorded transfers (BBL 3-01734-7503; each condominium apartment is its own tax lot). Apartment-level facts (line, condition, asking-price context) curated and cross-verified in The Roebling Research Library. 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.

Sleeping platforms need a precise description. Some loft interiors include low-ceilinged or windowless areas labeled as sleeping space, offices or additional bedrooms. For this building, the approved apartment layout and the headroom and windows serving an enclosed room matter more than a broker's bedroom label. An open mezzanine or interior storage area should not be represented as a legal additional bedroom without supporting approval.
