The conversion was undertaken by Rigby Asset Management, with Bromley/Caldari Architects designing the project and Richard Mishaan doing the interiors.

Overview of 17 East 12th Street

17 East 12th Street is an exclusive boutique condominium created from the conversion of an 11 story garage building in 2014, resulting in just nine luxury residences in the heart of Greenwich Village's Lower Fifth Avenue district. Developed by Rigby Asset Management under Peter Armstrong, the same developer behind notable conversions like 73 Wooster Street, the building was designed by Bromley/Caldari Architects with interiors by Richard Mishaan. The building's distinctive façade features London stock brick that Armstrong was the first to import to New York, giving it a unique architectural presence on the tree lined block between Fifth Avenue and University Place.

The building offers full floor residences spanning approximately 4,500 square feet on floors two through eight, each featuring four bedrooms, 11 foot ceilings, and private elevator access directly into a formal 24 foot arrival gallery. The penthouses are particularly impressive: Penthouse 2 is a duplex spanning floors 10 and 11 with 4,743 square feet interior and five bedrooms, while Penthouse 1 occupies the ninth floor with 3,143 square feet and features a remarkable 48 foot long terrace with NanaWall folding glass doors and an outdoor fireplace. All units include deeded parking spaces in the building's automated garage, a rare amenity in Greenwich Village.

The interiors showcase exceptional craftsmanship with hand laid herringbone rift and quartered solid oak floors, custom French limestone fireplaces bookending the expansive south facing living spaces, and oversized Panorama windows exceeding seven and a half feet in height with automated Lutron shades. The state-of-the-art kitchens by Poliform Varenna Italia feature electric touch controlled upper cabinets with underlit lower drawers, glacier white Corian countertops, and professional grade Miele appliances including dual dishwashers and custom coffee systems. Butler's pantries include floor-to-ceiling Sub-Zero wine storage units holding up to 147 bottles.

Master bedroom suites are designed as private sanctuaries measuring over 1,000 square feet, featuring dual Italian travertine clad bathrooms with heated floors, Rogerseller heated towel racks, walk in steam showers with Waterworks teak spa benches, and custom Dornbracht fixtures. The building provides white glove service with a 24 hour concierge and full time doorman, while the prime location offers immediate access to Union Square's transportation hub, Whole Foods Market, and renowned dining establishments including Dante and Minetta Tavern. The combination of only nine units in the building ensures exclusivity and privacy rarely found in Manhattan luxury developments.
