Overview of Medium Lipstick at 288 West Street

Medium Lipstick Building is a pre-war builing in Tribeca finished in 1890. It served as a spice storage warehouse before its conversion to an 8-story, 14-unit cooperative.

The lobby has been updated with keyless entry and video security, and the building is topped with a roof deck with gas grill, seating areas, and views of the Hudson River and Lower Manhattan skyline. Situated at 288 West Street, between Watts Street and Canal Street, it is close to the best shopping, dining, and transportation that Soho, Tribeca, Hudson Square, and Battery Park City have to offer. Hudson River Park is practically right out the front door.

Sales History

Price/Room (Est)

Why are we displaying the estimated price per room?

For some co-ops, instead of price per square foot, we use an estimate of the number of rooms for each sold apartment to chart price changes over time. This is because many co-op listings do not include square footage information, and this makes it challenging to calculate accurate square-foot averages.

By displaying the price per estimated room count, we are able to provide a more reliable and consistent metric for comparing sales in the building. While we hope that this gives you a clearer sense of price trends in the building, all data should be independently verified. All data provided are only estimates and should not be used to make any purchase or sale decision.
