Carter’s Review

"This very handsome, 19-story, light-orange-brick apartment building at 161 West 16th Street on the northeast corner at Seventh Avenue in Chelsea was erected in 1930.  It has 155 cooperative apartments.

It was built by Henry Mandel who in 1930 purchased a site from Otto H. Hahn on 57th Street between Eighth and Ninth Avenues that had been considered as a site for the Metropolitan Opera and where Mr. Mandel erected the four-building Park Vendome apartment complex."

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.
