Overview of University Mews at 39 East 12th Street

University Mews was originally constructed as a printing factory in 1900 and converted to a cooperative in 1986. The building has 89 units, and residents enjoy 24-hour doorman service, the services of a full custodial staff, a full-time porter, and live-in superintendent, a recently updated laundry room, and landscaped and furnished roof deck. Cats are welcome.

University Mews is located at 39 East 12th Street. Strand Bookstore is a short walk away, as is Union Square Park, Washington Square Park, many of New York's best restaurants, Whole Foods, and the Union Square transportation hub.

Carter’s Review

"This impressive building actually is comprised of two separate structures unified at the base by a two-story high colonnade with arched grillwork.

The 7-story building has very high ceilings and a canopied entrance with a very impressive lobby with a concierge. The building has no sidewalk landscaping and no garage and permits protruding air-conditioners. It was converted to a cooperative apartment building."

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.
