1 Astor Place is a 7 story, 175 apartment rental designed in 1881 by Starkweather & Gibbs for developer Orlando Potter. Its Victorian design combines red brick and terracotta façades with a cast iron base, a chamfered corner and an Astor Place frontage that bends slightly in two places.
The exterior is densely modeled, with deeply inset windows, dentilated spandrels, keystone heads, pilasters, banded columns and elaborate capitals. Three glass marquees mark the one step up entrance, which leads through a revolving door.
High ceilings and oversized windows recur in the studio and one bedroom layouts, often alongside hardwood floors and strong natural light. Lofted bedrooms and sleeping areas make use of the ceiling height, giving many apartments a loftlike organization. The building has a 24 hour doorman, concierge, live-in superintendent, fitness center and shared outdoor space, along with common laundry facilities and in-unit washers and dryers. A number of residences have terraces or balconies.
The building sits at the meeting point of Greenwich Village, NoHo and the East Village, opposite Cooper Union and close to the Public Theater and Astor Place's Alamo sculpture. The 6 train stops at Astor Place on Lafayette Street, while the N, R and W trains stop at 8 Street NYU on Broadway.
