Overview of The Astor Place at 445 Lafayette Street

The Astor Place at 445 Lafayette Street is a 21-story residential tower completed in 2004, distinguished by its undulating glass façade and curved architectural design. The building contains 39 residences ranging from 1,449 to 4,156 square feet, featuring floor-to-ceiling windows and contemporary finishes. Designed by Gwathmey Siegel & Associates, the building stands as a notable architectural landmark at the intersection of Lafayette Street, Astor Place, and Fourth Avenue.

The project's development history included earlier unrealized designs by renowned architects Rem Koolhaus and Frank Gehry before Related Companies commissioned Gwathmey Siegel for the final design. The building sits on land owned by Cooper Union, which created a 99-year lease arrangement for the development.

Residences feature high-end finishes including cherry wood cabinets, granite countertops, and premium appliances from Sub-Zero, Wolf, and Miele. Building amenities include 24-hour doorman and concierge service, a fitness center, private storage, and direct access to a parking garage. Located at the crossroads of NoHo, the East Village, Greenwich Village, and the Bowery, the building sits in one of Manhattan's most vibrant neighborhoods with excellent access to transportation, dining, and cultural attractions.

Carter’s Review

"With its mid-section's undulating plan, the 21-story Astor Place at 445 Lafayette Street is one of the most distinctive residential towers in the city. 

Above its limestone-clad base, the tower is mostly clad in glass and has 39 apartments with floor-to-ceiling windows."
