A Private Pricing Opinion — what your apartment at 75 Grand 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.
This is a 1970s artist-era loft cooperative at full scale: five contiguous nineteenth- and early-twentieth-century commercial buildings, 160 feet of Grand Street frontage and a return along Greene Street, bought as one parcel and converted under a single plan. Most SoHo loft co-ops are one building and a handful of floors. Grand Loft Corp. is five buildings and 26 apartments on one lot, which gives it a larger shareholder base, a real commercial income line at the ground floor, and a much wider range of apartment sizes than the typical Wooster or Greene Street co-op.
The offering plan on file in The Roebling Research Library records exactly how early the conversion was. The plan is dated October 10, 1975. The property had been occupied for offices, storage and the manufacture of brushes, and the sponsor acquired it in December 1975 from the brush company that owned it. The plan warned buyers, in capitals, that the premises "are not and cannot presently lawfully be occupied for residential purposes": there was no residential certificate of occupancy, the lot was zoned M1-5B, a variance would be needed for residential use, and each purchaser was responsible for the alterations and certificate of occupancy for their own floor. That is the pioneer-era loft conversion in its plainest form, and it is the history behind every legal-status question a buyer here should still ask.
The ownership record since then is clean. ACRIS shows share transfers between unrelated buyers and sellers across most of the residential units in the last two decades, commercial units trading separately to business owners, and no sponsor or holder of unsold shares selling blocks of apartments. There is no sponsor overhang in the record.
Architecture and unit composition
The five buildings read as one blockfront but are five designs. 85–87 Grand, the 1872 corner building by William Hume, has cast-iron facades on both Grand and Greene Streets — six structural bays on Grand, twelve on Greene — and floors that the plan's architect's survey measured at about 4,970 gross square feet each, with one freight elevator from cellar to fifth floor at the time of the offering. 83 Grand was added in 1883 as its extension, also by Hume. 81 Grand (1885) and 79 Grand (1889–90) are narrower store buildings. 75–77 Grand, the youngest at 1907, carries a cast-iron front from the George H. Toop Iron Works.
Because the plan sold whole floors building by building, apartment sizes vary widely — from narrow-building floors the plan's survey measured at under 2,000 gross square feet to full corner floors near 5,000. DOB filings show the usual loft renovation record: new partitions and kitchens, sleeping lofts, rooftop mechanical equipment. They also show a mix of occupancy language. A 2018 filing for the fourth floor of 75–77 Grand describes the work as renovation of joint living-work quarters, the artist-occupancy category (JLWQA) that governed SoHo residential use before the 2021 rezoning; a 2012 filing at 81 Grand describes an existing Class A residential unit. Classification can differ floor by floor.
Building operations
Capital work on record. DOB filings show facade repairs to the cast iron, masonry and fire escapes in 2005 under sidewalk sheds across all five buildings; parapet and roof-perimeter waterproofing in 2010; sidewalk vault and step replacement in 2009; and a larger program at 85–87 Grand in 2014–16 covering new exterior stairs, a wheelchair lift, an elevator-shaft renovation and sprinkler work. The buildings are six stories or fewer and do not appear in the city's facade inspection (FISP) filings.
Underlying mortgage. ACRIS shows the corporation refinancing with a cooperative lender in June 2025 — a $1.4 million mortgage and a $500,000 facility, with the prior loans satisfied at the same time. Relative to 26 apartments and a commercial rent roll, that is light leverage. Confirm the terms and maturity in the financial statements.
J-51. DOF's historical J-51 file shows a single abatement starting in 1980 on about $178,600 of qualifying work, running through the 1990 tax year. Nothing has been on the lot since; carrying costs are fully taxed, with no burn-off ahead.
Loft Law. DOB filings for the property flag it as not under Loft Board jurisdiction, and nothing in the public record indicates an Interim Multiple Dwelling registration.
Corporation-held space. ACRIS records Grand Loft Corp. itself as the seller on several share transfers to existing shareholders between 2014 and 2017. That is the usual pattern when a co-op sells space it holds — roof rights, common areas — to adjoining shareholders. Ask the managing agent what was sold and how the proceeds were used.
Policy framework
Board package and interview. A purchaser buys shares allocated to a unit and a proprietary lease, subject to board approval after a full package and interview.
Commercial units. Five commercial units sit inside the cooperative and trade as shares. Their share allocation, maintenance and permitted uses affect the building's income and should be read in the financials.
Financing, liquidity, sublets, pied-à-terre, trusts and the flip tax. None is published, and the 1975 plan predates any current policy. The financing ceiling, post-closing liquidity requirement, sublet policy, flip tax, pied-à-terre and trust or LLC ownership rules all come from the managing agent. Get them in writing before the offer.
Recent sales
Grand Loft Corp. trades as SoHo loft co-op product, and the pricing variable is the floor: which building, which exposure, whether it is a corner or combined unit, and what the renovation and legal-occupancy status are. The 85–87 Grand corner floors, with light from two streets, sit at the top of the range; narrower-building floors trade well below. Compare against other SoHo loft co-ops rather than against subdivided condominium conversions, which carry different amenities, taxes and financing. The building is large enough to trade every year, but not every quarter, so index any read to the last complete year.

What to know if you’re buying
Settle the occupancy status of your unit. Ask whether the floor is carried as JLWQA or as unrestricted residential on the current certificate of occupancy. The 2021 rezoning lets JLWQA units convert to ordinary residential use in exchange for a per-square-foot contribution to a city arts fund; find out whether this unit has converted, and if not, what it would cost. It affects resale and financing, not daily life.
Know which building you are buying into. Five buildings means five sets of structure, systems and exterior conditions. A floor at 79 Grand and a floor at 85–87 Grand share a board and a budget, not a structure.
Read the commercial line. Ground-floor commercial units make up a meaningful share of the lot's area. Their maintenance contribution is part of your carrying-cost picture.
Respect the landmark. Windows, storefronts and rooftop additions require a Certificate of Appropriateness.
What to know if you’re selling
Lead with the floor plate and the building. A full loft floor in an 1870s or 1880s cast-iron building in the original 1973 historic district is the product; say which building and what the floor measures.
Have the legal file ready. Certificate of occupancy status, the JLWQA question, the financials and the 2025 refinancing terms. A buyer's attorney will ask for all of it.
Be accurate about the history. Five buildings from 1872 to 1907, a co-op since 1975–76 — not 1915, as PLUTO has it.

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.
