Art Deco elegance in the heart of Greenwich Village

One Fifth Avenue, an iconic Art Deco landmark, stands tall at the intersection of Fifth Avenue and 8th Street in Greenwich Village. Completed in 1927, this 27-story tower was designed by renowned architect Harvey Wiley Corbett in collaboration with Sugarman & Berger. Originally built as a hotel, the building now houses 198 cooperative units, offering residents a blend of historic charm and modern luxury. Its distinctive silhouette, characterized by setbacks creating a tiered profile, has become a defining feature of the Lower Manhattan skyline. Situated at the gateway to the coveted Gold Coast stretch of Lower Fifth Avenue, One Fifth Avenue continues to be one of the most sought-after addresses in New York City, attracting a diverse mix of affluent professionals, artists, and academics.

Diverse layouts with breathtaking views

One Fifth Avenue offers a range of residences from cozy one-bedrooms to sprawling five-bedroom homes, catering to various lifestyles and needs. The smallest units start at 1,175 square feet, while the largest can extend up to 2,700 square feet, providing ample space for comfortable living and entertaining. One-bedroom apartments, priced from $960,000 to $3,250,000, are often described as larger than typical Manhattan one-bedrooms. Many feature elegant details such as beamed ceilings, parquet floors, and custom built-ins. Some units boast Juliet balconies or terraces, offering charming views of Washington Square Park or the Village streetscape. Two-bedroom units, ranging from 1,175 to 1,500 square feet with 2 to 2.5 bathrooms, are available from $1,600,000 to $3,300,000. These homes often feature split bedroom layouts for privacy, spacious living areas, and updated kitchens with high-end appliances. Some two-bedroom apartments have been thoughtfully combined from smaller units, resulting in unique and spacious floor plans. Three-bedroom residences, spanning 1,850 to 2,000 square feet with 2.5 to 3 bathrooms, are priced around $4,450,000. These larger apartments often occupy corner positions, offering multiple exposures and panoramic views. Many feature formal dining rooms, home offices, and luxurious primary suites with walk-in closets and en-suite bathrooms. The most expansive offerings are the four-bedroom units, approximately 2,700 square feet with 3.5 bathrooms. These rare residences are often the result of combining multiple apartments, creating sprawling, loft-like spaces with unparalleled views and high-end finishes throughout. Throughout the building, residents enjoy pre-war details such as high ceilings, hardwood floors, and large windows. Many apartments have been meticulously renovated, seamlessly blending original architectural elements with modern amenities. Kitchens often feature top-of-the-line appliances from brands like Sub-Zero, Miele, and Viking, while bathrooms boast luxurious finishes such as marble tiles and high-end fixtures. The tower floors of One Fifth Avenue are particularly coveted, offering some of the most spectacular views in downtown Manhattan. These residences feature oversized, often floor-to-ceiling windows that frame breathtaking vistas of Washington Square Park, the Empire State Building, and the Freedom Tower.

White-glove service and exclusive amenities

Additional conveniences include a central laundry room, though many apartments now feature in-unit laundry facilities. Storage is ample at One Fifth Avenue, with bike storage, individual storage rooms, and package rooms available to residents. This is particularly valuable in a city where space is at a premium. One of the building's most unique features is its gated street, Washington Mews, which runs along the north side of the property. This historic cobblestone lane, once home to stables, now houses a mix of NYU offices and private residences, adding to the charm and exclusivity of the address.
