145 Fourth Avenue: Review and Ratings
between East 13th Street & East 14th Street View Full Building Profile
This handsome, red-brick, post-war, 18-story building at the southwest corner of Union Square Park has 210 rental apartments.
For many years, this building looked across the street at the dilapidated structures of the S. Klein Department Store complex that eventually was replaced by the four-towered Zeckendorf Towers complex that was greatly responsible for the impressive renaissance of the Union Square district. Much of the remainder of the 14th Street block to the west has been redeveloped with new residential buildings for New York University that replaced the legendary Luchow's Restaurant, the former Academy of Music theater that had been transformed into the very large and popular Palladium discotheque, and Julian's, the billiards parlor. A major new luxury apartment complex with major retail spaces and a very large façade sculpture that faces up Park Avenue South was built in the late 1990's just across Fourth Avenue from this building and Union Square Park and its complex subway stations have been rebuilt.
This building has a very large, windowed lobby on the Avenue with a concierge and a polished black granite entrance surround. The building has discrete air-conditioners, a many angled form, some corner windows but no garage, no balconies and no sidewalk landscaping.
This location is convenient to Greenwich Village and the Flatiron District and there are many restaurants and stores in the vicinity and there is a farmers' market at the north end of Union Square Park on the weekends.
There is a lot of traffic at this location.
