About 100 Jane Street
In their great book, "New York 2000, Architecture and Urbanism Between The Bicentennial And The Millennium," Robert A. M. Stern, David Fishman and Jacob Tilove observed that "Rockrose's 100 Jane Street (Avinash K. Malhotra, 1996) made possible by the removal of the southernmost portion of the High Line, had little to recommend it. But across the street, the same developer's 99 Jane Street (1999), northwest corner of Washington Street to Horatio Street, was a far more distinguished design. Fox & Fowle carefully masked an H-shaped plan to form a central eleven-story tower flanked by six-story wings with full and French balconies adding interest to the extensively glazed red-brick-clad facade."
99 Jane Street has a large gated and landscaped park along Washington Street that residents of 100 Jane Street can use and enjoy.
This section of the West Village has many restaurants, numerous cobblestone streets and is convenient to the Meat-Packing District and the High Line elevated park that opened in 2009.
This 9-story building has a doorman, a concierge and a sundeck and 148 apartments of which 30 are "affordable."
