109 W 26Th St

Located at 109 West 26th Street in Manhattan, this 11-story prewar cooperative was constructed in 1910 and retains authentic loft character across a compact, 13-unit footprint. The masonry façade conceals large, reconfigured full-floor and multi-room loft residences with keyed private elevators and freight/service access. Units present very high ceilings (often 11–12 feet), expansive oversized windows on multiple exposures, original wide-plank or pine floors, exposed beams and generous wall space suited to art collections. Typical apartment finishes range from preserved prewar detail to fully renovated contemporary kitchens with marble counters, custom millwork and top-tier appliances; common interior traits include kitchen islands/breakfast bars, large dining areas, walk-in closets, soaking tubs, double vanities and recessed lighting. Building systems are a mix of restored vintage elements (steam heat) and modern upgrades (central HVAC in some units, in-unit washer/dryer hookups). Common building features: keyed passenger elevator, freight elevator, secure lobby with 24-hour video surveillance and recorded intercom. The co-op’s governing practices are buyer-friendly for many owners: it permits pets, subletting and live-work usage, and is described as financially stable with moderate maintenance. There is limited private outdoor space tied to select units and some full-floor homes offer extensive roof decks or terraces; no shared fitness or pool facilities are provided. The property sits at the crossroads of Chelsea, NoMad and Flatiron, minutes from Madison Square Park, the High Line, major transit, grocery options and a dense gallery/retail scene, supporting an urban, culturally oriented lifestyle.
