Discover what moves you
40 Mercer, completed in 2007, was Pritzker Prize laureate Jean Nouvel's first residential building in New York, and it treats the glass curtain wall as a work of color and light rather than a neutral skin. Nouvel wraps the block-through structure in a taut grid of floor-to-ceiling glass punctuated by ruby-red and cobalt-blue mullioned panes -- red along Mercer, blue turning the corner onto Broadway -- crowned by a deep-blue lattice 'lantern' that glows over the SoHo rooftops at dusk. The building's signature gesture is architectural theater: oversized panels up to seven by twelve feet that glide open electronically, dissolving the wall between the loft interior and the open air. Inside, eleven- to twelve-foot ceilings, teak-and-stainless kitchens and honed-marble baths continue Nouvel's language of restraint, letting the framed views of SoHo's cast-iron streetscape become the art on the wall.

Closed leases reported to the REBNY Listing Service — what tenants paid.
Every closing since 2007
Deeds recorded with the City of New York — actual closing prices, never asking prices.
Highest annual average: $3,377/SF in 2018. 2026 to date: $3,153/SF across 2 closings. Annual averages swing with the mix — a penthouse year reads high.
Of the 41 closings in 2007, 40 were each residence's first recorded sale and 1 was an early resale; since 2008 the building has recorded 0–6 closings a year.
86 closings plotted, from $1.75M to $13.3M. Larger residences generally trade higher.
Lowest: Residence 9, 1,222 sf, $1,750,000 (Mar 2010). Highest: Residence 30, 4-bed, 3,006 sf, $13,250,000 (Jul 2026). Lowest and highest figures use arm's-length, single-residence deeds within the $/SF band below.
Source: NYC ACRIS recorded deeds for the 41 residential condominium lots, matched to DOF gross square feet. 86 closings charted. Not counted at all: 20 further deeds recorded with $0 consideration (outside the 87 priced deeds). Excluded from the charts: 14 (Jul 2007) — bought by the condominium's own board of managers — not an arm's-length sale. Rules: deeds under $250K are treated as non-market transfers; a $/SF more than 3× or under 40% of the median of deeds within a year either side (or the building median, $2,352/SF, where that window is thin) is treated as an outlier; deeds to the condominium's own board of managers are not market sales.
