Overview of Steiner East Village at 438 East 12th Street

Steiner East Village is a six-story luxury condominium at 438 East 12th Street, developed by Steiner NYC and completed in 2017 on the former site of the Mary Help of Christians Church, which was acquired from the Archdiocese of New York for $41 million in 2012. The 82-unit building, designed by S9 Architecture with interiors by Paris Forino, features a distinctive red-brick façade with multi-paned windows and dark metal panel accents on the upper floors. The project originally began as a planned 160-unit luxury rental but was converted to condominiums when banks proved reluctant to finance an untested rental product in the area.

The building's apartments showcase high-end finishes throughout, including 10'7" ceilings (reaching over 15 feet in penthouses), oversized casement windows framed in statuary bronze, and seven-inch-wide European white oak flooring. Kitchens feature satin lacquer custom Italian cabinetry, limestone and Calacatta marble countertops, and premium appliances by Wolf, Bosch, and Sub-Zero. Bathrooms are appointed with Bianco Dolomiti and Bianco Carrara marble, custom vanities, and Waterworks chrome fittings. The building's penthouse units offer nearly 1,300 square feet of private outdoor space with panoramic city views, while many apartments provide serene courtyard garden views.

Steiner East Village offers over 16,000 square feet of amenities, anchored by a 50-foot teak-ribbed indoor pool overlooking a landscaped garden, a full spa with steam room and sauna, and a 2,000-square-foot fitness center. Additional amenities include a residents' library with fireplace, children's playroom, and impressive outdoor spaces featuring a 5,000-square-foot rooftop park with grills and outdoor kitchen, plus a 3,000-square-foot landscaped courtyard. The full-service building provides 24-hour concierge service and a live-in resident manager, with dual entrances on both East 11th and 12th Streets.

The building has attracted notable residents including Portuguese model Sara Sampaio and has achieved record-breaking rental rates in the neighborhood, with units commanding up to $13,500 per month. The development allows flexible rental terms with a minimum of three months, making it attractive to both investors and residents seeking luxury living in one of Manhattan's most authentic and eclectic neighborhoods, just blocks from Tompkins Square Park.
