The Brevoort, an esteemed postwar cooperative at 11 Fifth Avenue in Greenwich Village's Gold Coast, was built in 1956 on the site of the historic Brevoort Hotel. The 19-story building, which contains 296 apartments converted to co-ops in 1981, is named after one of New York's prominent Dutch families who owned significant land holdings in the area during the 18th and 19th centuries.
The light-colored glazed brick building features a distinctive recessed tower design and circular driveway. It has undergone extensive eco-friendly modernization, including the installation of a co-generator for emergency power, new windows, and planted rooftops. The building stands out for its commitment to sustainability while maintaining its post-war architectural character.
Residents enjoy comprehensive amenities including 24-hour doorman and concierge services, a resident manager, fitness center, parking garage, bike room, private storage units, and on-site laundry facilities. The building's grand lobby is complemented by landscaped gardens, creating an elegant entrance experience.
The Brevoort's location between Washington Square Park and Union Square puts it at the heart of Greenwich Village's cultural scene, with easy access to dining, shopping, and entertainment. Multiple subway lines at Union Square, West 4th Street, and Astor Place stations provide excellent transportation options.
The co-op maintains a flexible policy structure, permitting pieds-à-terre, parents purchasing for working children, and in-unit washer/dryers with board approval. Pet policies allow for either one dog or two cats per unit, and the building accepts up to 60% financing.

For some co-ops, instead of price per square foot, we use an estimate of the number of rooms for each sold apartment to chart price changes over time. This is because many co-op listings do not include square footage information, and this makes it challenging to calculate accurate square-foot averages.
By displaying the price per estimated room count, we are able to provide a more reliable and consistent metric for comparing sales in the building. While we hope that this gives you a clearer sense of price trends in the building, all data should be independently verified. All data provided are only estimates and should not be used to make any purchase or sale decision.
