Established as a cooperative in 1985, 29 Perry Street is an intimate, pet-friendly building with just two apartments per floor, ensuring a quiet, boutique lifestyle.

The co-op permits up to 80% financing and considers pied--terre ownership on a case-by-case basis. Living at 29 Perry means owning a piece of New York history. Originally built in 1871, the building was purchased in the 1920s by the neighboring Church of St. John the Evangelist to preserve the neighborhood's residential integrity. The church transformed the surrounding tenement buildings into St. John's Colony -a haven designed specifically for artists and creatives. The building's entrance, lobby, and intimate two-unit-per-floor layout established during the Roaring Twenties remain beautifully intact to this day, preserving a true legacy of distinction and charm.
