Overview of The Wheeler Building at 28 West 38th Street

Rising two blocks south of Bryant Park, halfway between the Chrysler and Empire State buildings, the turn-of-the-century Wheeler Building at 28 West 38th Street is itself a classic that predates the two New York icons by nearly a generation. Goldwin, Starrett & Van Vleck, the architects behind the Saks Fifth Avenue and Lord & Taylor buildings, designed a delicate, lace-like façade that frames broad, floor-to-ceiling windows. Loft apartments number just one or two per floor and boast 11-foot ceilings, with custom renovations in many units. The pet-friendly co-op offers an elegant lobby, a video security system, a super and a night porter. You could hardly ask for a more convenient spot, close to just about every major subway line and iconic destinations like MoMA, Radio City Music Hall, Grand Central Terminal, Macy’s Herald Square, and the Theater District.

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.
