45 Christopher Street stands as one of only four prewar doorman condominium buildings in Greenwich Village, making it a particularly coveted address in the neighborhood. Built in 1913 by the renowned architectural firm Bing & Bing, this handsome 17-story brown-brick building features a distinctive two-story stone base and an attractively enclosed water tank. The building was converted to a condominium in 1986 and contains 113 apartments, positioned directly across from historic Christopher Park and near the triangular Georgian-style Northern Dispensary building dating from 1831.
The building's location places residents at the heart of Greenwich Village's rich cultural history, on the same block that once housed the Village Voice offices and near the famous Stonewall Inn. This full-service white glove building offers 24-hour doorman service, a live-in resident manager, and a recently renovated landscaped roof deck with panoramic 360-degree city views - a rare amenity for a prewar building. Additional amenities include bike storage, central laundry facilities, and private storage units that transfer with apartment sales.
The apartments themselves showcase classic prewar charm with many units featuring wood-burning fireplaces, beamed ceilings, hardwood floors, and windowed kitchens. Corner units are particularly desirable, offering multiple exposures and enhanced natural light, with some higher-floor apartments providing sweeping views from Greenwich Village down to Tribeca and the Manhattan skyline. Many residences retain original prewar details while accommodating modern conveniences, and the building welcomes pets. Common charges notably include electricity, heat, and hot water.
