Carter's Review

The unassuming, yellow-brick apartment building at 29, 35 and 45 East 9^th Street on the northeast corner at University Place is one of the finest pre-war apartment complexes in Greenwich Village with high ceilings, duplexes and three gardens. 

The building was designed in 1925 by Harvey Wiley Corbett of Helme & Corbett Architects, one of three firms that designed Rockefeller Center. Mr. Corbett also designed the pre-war residential skyscraper at 1 Fifth Avenue on the southeast corner at 8^th Street.

Bottom Line

A very desirable pre-war building with duplex apartments and high ceilings in the heart of Greenwich Village, close to Washington Square Park and N.Y.U., and convenient to public transportation and many restaurants.

Description

The building has canopied, one-step-up entrances flanked by bollards at 29, 35 and 45 East 49^th Street. 

The 11-story building has unusual fenestration with arched windows on the 4^th, 6th and 8^th floors and double-height windows with slightly curved Juliet balconies on the other floors. 

The building permits protruding window air-conditioners. 

Each of the separate entrances has a full-time doorman, a roof deck, a laundry room, private storage units and a separate lobby.

Amenities

The building has three entrances, each with doormen and lobbies. The building has a roof deck, a laundry and private storage, and it allows pets.
