Overview of 165 Charles Street

Designed by Pritzker Prize-winning architect Richard Meier, 165 Charles Street stands as the third and southernmost tower in a celebrated trio of modern residential buildings that transformed the West Village waterfront when it opened in 2005. This 16-story boutique condominium distinguishes itself from its Perry Street siblings by being the only building where Meier designed both the exteriors and interiors, delivering fully finished residences complete with custom details down to the doorknobs. The building houses 30 apartments plus one penthouse, with most floors featuring two river-facing units, and won the AIA 2005 Housing Design Award for its architectural excellence.

The building has attracted an impressive roster of high-profile residents, including Calvin Klein, Natalie Portman, Martha Stewart, Princess Khaliya Aga Khan, and the Winklevoss Twins, along with gallery owner Barbara Gladstone and fashion designer Norma Kamali. Apartments feature 11-foot ceilings, floor-to-ceiling triple-paned windows, and wide-plank Wenge wood floors, with river-facing units offering private balconies and unobstructed Hudson River views. The residences are organized around island kitchen units that allow living spaces to flow seamlessly, while select floors feature unique layouts including double-height living rooms and convertible spaces.

Residents enjoy white-glove amenities including 24-hour concierge service, a 50-foot infinity-edge pool with cascading waterfall in a double-height atrium, a state-of-the-art fitness center, and a 36-seat screening room with custom Meier-designed leather seating. Each apartment comes with a private wine cellar capable of storing 360 bottles, while the building's prime West Village location provides direct access to Hudson River Park and proximity to the neighborhood's renowned dining and shopping. The building's position offers the best southern views of Lower Manhattan among the three Meier towers, making it a coveted address that sold out in record time upon completion.

Broker & Buyer Comments

This "spectacular" Richard Meier-designed glass tower stands as a "masterpiece of modern architecture" in the historic West Village. The "impeccably serviced" luxury building offers "resort-style" amenities including an infinity pool, private wine cellars, and theatre. A "full-service" staff including 24-hour doorman and live-in super ensures "seamless living," while the "prime location" near Christopher Street transit puts countless dining options and boutiques at residents' doorstep. The "tranquil" setting near improved parkland adds to the building's "exceptional appeal."
