The Katharine (Evan Joseph, Compass)
Between its eclectic, timeless architecture, rich history, numerous celebrity residents, and acclaimed restaurants, universities, and cultural institutions, Greenwich Village is one of New York's most admired neighborhoods. It also has few availabilities for it: As of this writing, CityRealty sales listings show fewer than 200 public listings in Greenwich Village with fewer than 50 condos among them.
Such scarcity cannot help but drive prices up to over $2,400 per square foot (per CityRealty data), and it shows little sign of abating. Those who live in the Village now would understandably like to stay; many of the industrial and commercial buildings that could be converted to residential have already done so; and, owing to the wide boundaries of the Greenwich Village Historic District and its multiple extensions, new construction cannot take place without the approval of the Landmarks Preservation Commission ("Landmarks"), and preservationists are fiercely protective of areas where this is not required.

64 University Place, April 2025 (CityRealty)
Because new construction buildings are so few and far between, units inside do not tend to stay on the market for long. A case in point may be found at 64 University Place: The 28 units were quickly snapped up largely through a whisper campaign, and the building ultimately attracted the likes of Qatari Prime Minister Mohammed bin Abdulrahman bin Jassim Al Thani and power broker Fredrik Eklund of Douglas Elliman. But that is not to say that new development in Greenwich Village has come to a halt--quite the contrary.
Below, we check in on five recently launched and forthcoming new development condominiums in Greenwich Village.
Developed by Magnum Real Estate | Design by Issac + Stern
11 stories | 20 units
One-beds from $1.5 million
Three-bedroom for $9.5 million
Two-beds from $2.8 million
Spring 2025 sales launch anticipated

Colette's prewar-inspired facade (SERHANT)
La Maison Colette is still in early stages of construction, but early renderings from Issac + Stern Architects show a pale brick building with Parisian-inspired design influences. There are no more than three units per floor, and the top three floors will be occupied by full-floor four-bedroom penthouses with private balconies and terraces. All apartments will feature interiors by Paris Forino, high ceilings, white oak herringbone floors, in-unit laundry, Waterworks fixtures in the baths, and kitchens with Breccia Caipria Eurasia stone countertops and Miele appliances. Select units have Juliet or full balconies.
A full-time doorman is on staff, and residential amenities include a fitness center, a spa with infrared sauna and cold plunge pool, a lounge with private dining/meeting room, and a landscaped roof terrace with a grilling station and kitchenette. Additional conveniences include a package room with cold storage, bike storage, a pet spa with washing station, and private storage (for an additional fee).
La Maison Colette is taking shape on a site between Washington Square Park and Union Square Park. Its proximity to the Union Square transportation hub allows for easy access almost anywhere in the city, but it is fairly surrounded by popular restaurants, coffee shops, boutiques, supermarkets, bars, movie theaters, and bookstores.

Rendering of The Katharine (BKSK Architects) and Nate Berkus (Credit: Evan Joseph)
The building at 118 West 13th Street dates back to 1930, when it was developed by the Ladies Christian Union as a residence for women. Nearly 100 years later, amidst its conversion to a boutique condominium, its brick facade by Benjamin Wistar Morris has been restored to its original glory. In between, when the building served as a dormitory for the New School, it attracted some attention for being home to the most expensive student housing in the country.
All apartments will feature interiors by HGTV star and longtime Greenwich Village resident Nate Berkus, who brings his neighborhood expertise to the project. All units will include custom architectural details and meticulously crafted features, and select units will boast features like direct elevator entry, custom marble fireplaces, and/or private terraces.
Private storage is included with each residence, and amenities are set to include a 24-hour attended lobby, a fitness center with yoga terrace, and a landscaped roof terrace with beautiful views.

Rendering of The Village West (IGI)
As The Village West is located outside the Greenwich Village Historic District, it could take shape without Landmarks' approval. But while it is quite a bit taller than its nearest neighbors on the block, features like a brick facade, oversized windows, and multiple setbacks pay respectful tribute to the prewar architecture throughout the neighborhood. It takes its place on Sixth Avenue and West 14th Street alongside Forena on the northeast corner and 101 West 14th Street on the northwest corner.
Several units will have private terraces, and all residents will have access to a generous amenity package that includes concierge service, a fitness center with terrace access, a sauna, a children's playroom, a game room, a golf simulator, a coworking lounge, and an inner courtyard. To top it all off is a roof deck with outdoor kitchen, seating areas, and a rooftop spa and shower with cold plunge pool. Additional conveniences will include live-in superintendent service, bike storage, and private storage (for an additional fee). Sales are expected to launch this fall.

Rendering of Sixteen Fifth Avenue
If all had gone according to original plan, Sixteen Fifth Avenue would have outstripped Art Deco landmark 1 Fifth Avenue as the tallest building in Greenwich Village. Several Landmarks hearings resulted in a shorter building, but its height still allows for impressive views of the nearby Washington Square Park and the Manhattan skyline. Its limestone details and prewar design influences were designed to fit in with its historic surroundings.
Between 12 full-floor three- to four-bedroom units, one duplex penthouse, and one triplex penthouse, privacy is all but assured at Sixteen Fifth Avenue. All interiors feature oversized casement windows, white oak flooring, kitchens by Christopher Peacock with center islands and Miele MasterCool appliances, and ultra-private primary suites with generous closet space and luxurious baths. Amenities include an attended lobby, a fitness center, a golf simulator, a tranquility lounge, and an atrium lounge with catering kitchen, dining room, and bar with individual wine and spirits cabinets.
The first listing went live in April 2025, and occupancy is estimated for later this year. Contact CityRealty to arrange a tour.

Rendering of 181 MacDougal Street (Corcoran Group)
181 MacDougal Street is located in the heart of the Greenwich Village Historic District, replacing two low-rise buildings that included the former home of Bon Soir, the cabaret club where Barbra Streisand got an early start.
