Carter's Review

Just to the north of Greenwich Village and at the lower end of Chelsea, this large apartment building has a location that is convenient to transportation, shopping and entertainment. After decades of relative stagnation, its neighborhood began to be enlivened significantly in the late 1990's with the arrival of art galleries, many relocating from SoHo, in the area. In addition, the success of the Flatiron District has expanded westward and attracted many companies in the photography, publishing and advertising industries and attractive new restaurants. The building, which was erected in 1964 and converted to a cooperative in 1980, is adjacent to an express subway stop and crosstown bus stops. It was originally clad in white brick, but when façade problems eventually developed, the building's board decided to reclad in sand color bricks. The 21-story building, whose large mass is modulated and relieved by recessed bays, has 352 apartments. There are balconies on the upper floors.
