Overview of The Armory at 529 West 42nd Street

The Armory at 529 West 42nd Street was originally constructed in 1929 as the headquarters for the 77th "Statue of Liberty" Division of the United States Army Reserve. In the early 1980s, the building was converted into a 9-story residential condop with 159 units. During the 1990s, the ground floor and basement housed the Actors Studio Free Theater, and in 2000, the All Stars Project Inc. acquired the lower two floors for performance spaces including two 99-seat theaters and a 250-seat Off-Broadway theater.

The pre-war building offers a mix of unique loft-style apartments, many featuring soaring ceilings up to 14 feet high. Building amenities include a 24-hour doorman, live-in superintendent, laundry facilities on every floor, a common roof deck, and bike storage. As a legal live/work building, The Armory provides flexible usage options for residents, allowing both residential and business purposes within units.

Situated in Hell's Kitchen, The Armory offers a prime location near Times Square, the Theater District, and Hudson Yards. The building maintains liberal policies regarding subletting, pied-à-terres, co-purchasing, and guarantors, with no flip tax and up to 80% financing available. The pet-friendly building has become a distinctive part of the neighborhood, blending its military heritage with contemporary urban living.

Carter’s Review

"This 9-story building was erected in 1929 as the armory for the 77th

In the early 1980s, the top eight floors were converted to 159 cooperative apartments and in the 1990s the ground floor and basement were used by the Actors Studio Free Theater and dance rehearsal studios. In 2000, the All Stars Project Inc., a 19-year-old non-profit theatrical production company bought the lower two floors for performance and rehearsal space and two 99-seat theaters and a 250-seat Off-Broadway theater."
