About This Home

Located in the heart of Greenwich Village, 16 Christopher Street offers an extraordinary blank-canvas redevelopment opportunity. Currently in vacant shell condition, the approximately 6,100 square feet sit on a single tax lot, allowing for unmatched flexibility.

The marquee potential is the creation of a one-of-a-kind, block-through single-family townhouse with full lot coverage and expansive roof deck possibilities — a true rarity in Manhattan.

Alternatively, one building can be reimagined as a classic single-family residence while the other is ideal for a high-value mixed-use project on one of Greenwich Village’s most desirable blocks.

Set between Waverly Place and Gay Street, 16 Christopher Street is surrounded by the neighborhood’s best restaurants, boutiques, and cultural attractions.

All future uses are subject to approval by the Landmarks Preservation Commission and the Department of Buildings. There is currently one rent-regulated unit.
