10 Greene Street: Review and Ratings

Review of 10 Greene Street by Carter Horsley

This handsome, 6-story building at 10 Greene Street between Broadway and Wooster Street in SoHo was built in 1869 and has four condominium units. 

It was designed by J. B. Snook for Moon & Bryant. 

In 2019, it was converted by Javeri Capital, which had acquired it for $14.45 million, into condominium apartments.  Javeri Capital, which is headed by Atit Javeri, is among the most active investors in the neighborhood. The firm already owns 23-25 Greene Street and the retail condos at 20-26 Greene Street on the same block, having bought the latter for $9.9 million in late 2013. 

Snook jointed the firm of Joseph Trench in 1842 and in 1846 he was the designer of the A. T. Stewart department store at 280 Broadway between Duane and Rector streets.  The store was the first department store in America and its Anglo-Italianate palazzo style and six years later he designed the Metropolitan Hotel on Broadway at Prince Street and in 1854 the marble-clad St. Nicholas Hotel on Broadway between Broome and Spring streets. 

In 1869, Cornelius Vanderbilt hired Snook to design the first Grand Central Depot, which served as the main passenger terminal for the New York and Harlem Railroad and the New York Central Railroad from 1871 to 1900.

Amenities
