The oldest condo building in the Lower East Side of Manhattan dates back to 1872. Most condo developments in LES today are new construction buildings, and condo conversions are increasingly rare. There are many other historic, pre-war apartment buildings in the Lower East Side, however the vast majority of them are rental buildings, single or multifamily homes or co-op buildings.

Built on an irregularly narrow corner lot at Rivington Street and The Bowery, 215 Bowery features an Italian Renaissance facade which was carved from sandstone quarried in Ohio in the late 19th Century. Actor Nicholas Braun purchased #5R for $1,910,000 in December 2019.

184 Bowery was built in 1887 and converted to condos in 1999. It features four, full-floor loft apartments and a ground floor commercial unit. The Renaissance Revival style structure was designed by William Graul and originally used as a commercial space.

Subsequently, the building was converted to a hotel in 1924 and artist lofts in 1969, according to the Bowery Alliance of Neighbors. There have been no resales in over two decades, and residents of the building have lived there for lengths of time ranging from 12 to 38 years.
