The Wheeler Building, constructed in 1909 at 28 West 38th Street, is a distinguished pre-war co-op designed by celebrated architectural firm Goldwin, Starrett & Van Vleck, known for their work on iconic department stores like Saks Fifth Avenue and Lord & Taylor. The building features a distinctive lace-like façade with broad, floor-to-ceiling windows, and houses just one or two units per floor, maintaining an intimate boutique atmosphere.
Residences in the Wheeler Building are characterized by their soaring 11-13 foot ceilings and generous proportions, with many units featuring custom renovations. The building offers modern amenities including a video security system, key-locked passenger and freight elevators, an on-site superintendent, and night porter service. The co-op is pet-friendly and allows pieds-à-terre with board approval.
Situated in Midtown South, two blocks south of Bryant Park, the Wheeler Building enjoys a prime location between the Chrysler and Empire State buildings. The area provides exceptional access to transportation, with numerous subway lines and proximity to major transit hubs. The neighborhood is rich in cultural attractions, including Radio City Music Hall and the Theater District, while also offering diverse dining options, shopping at nearby Whole Foods and various department stores, and the year-round amenities of Bryant Park.

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.
