Cooke Lofts
Industrial loft character at 140 Bay Street in Jersey City’s Powerhouse Arts District.
Cooke Lofts at 140 Bay Street brings industrial character to the Powerhouse Arts District, with concrete columns, tall windows, and open layouts. Anthony sold unit 4C for $840,000 in 2021 and again for $1,205,000 in 2026. Those transactions provide context for that home; current pricing also depends on condition, layout, and competing listings.

What Cooke Lofts is like to live in
Cooke Lofts offers industrial scale and varied layouts in the Powerhouse Arts District. Look closely at the column placement, bedroom enclosure, daylight and usable wall space. Evaluate sound in the actual home and compare the dues with the services, reserves and planned work they support.
The lines that set the price
At Cooke Lofts, compare window placement, ceiling volume, the layout around structural columns and the extent of renovation. Check the actual parking arrangement separately. A renovated corner loft and an original-finish interior home can require different comparisons; explain the differences using completed sales rather than a standard premium.
Documented sales at Cooke Lofts
My own closings, also listed on my Track Record page:
| Unit | Year | Price |
|---|---|---|
| 4C | 2026 | $1,205,000 |
| 4C | 2021 | $840,000 |
The two sales of unit 4C provide historical context for that residence. A current pricing recommendation should also consider condition, timing, layout, and the other completed sales and listings available.
What buyers should know
Buy the unit, not the building average; no two lofts here have the same light or plan. Ask for the conversion documents and the reserve study, because a 1933 structure converted in 2005 carries roof, window, and facade cycles that a new building does not. Confirm the parking situation before you fall in love with a space you cannot get. Compare the actual tax bill, dues and separate charges with the specific tower units on your shortlist.
What sellers should know
Your buyer is comparing you to the other district conversions and, on price, to the one bedrooms in 10 Provost and the Oakman. Lead with the volume, the light, and the dues, price from the building’s own closed history, and show any renovation. My 2026 sale of unit 4C is the reference price for that floor, and it was marketed as a loft, not as a condo with high ceilings.
