80 East 10th Street: Review and Ratings

Review of 80 East 10th Street by Carter Horsley

This rather dramatic, 10-story building on the southeast corner of Fourth Avenue was erected in 2018 by the Parametric Development Group and designed by NAVA. 

It has 12 condominium units. 

It is one block east of the very beautiful Grace Episcopal Church, and two blocks north of Cooper Union at St. Mark's Place and three blocks north of McSorley's, one of the city's most historic saloons. 

It has convenient public transportation.

Bottom Line

With a patterned metal façade with cut-outs and cantilevers, this attractive, corner, mid-rise building with large layouts has a prime location on Fourth Avenue between Astor Place and Union Square and is one-block from the beautiful Grace Episcopal Church.

Description

According to an article by Ondel Hilton at cityrealty.com, the building is along a stretch of Fourth Avenue once known as Book Row because there once 48 bookstores between Astor Place and Union Square.  "Paying homage to the location," Mr. Hylton wrote that "the bronze-toned panels will have impressions stippled in curving patterns."  "They are the result," he continued, "of an intensive creative process of 'transforming and expressing the written word into a physical pattern on the building's façade,' says NAVA."
