Construction is wrapping up on 64 University Place, an 11-story residential building in Greenwich Village, Manhattan. Designed by Kohn Pedersen Fox and developed by Argo Real Estate and Bsafal, the 125-foot-tall structure spans 63,000 square feet and yields 28 condominium units, as well as a community facility and ground-floor retail and gallery space. The property is located between East 10th and 11th Streets.
All of the scaffolding and black netting was removed since our last update in late March, when the ground floor and bulkhead were still covered. Recent photographs show the completed look of the building’s exterior and the intricate brickwork surrounding the signature arched window grid. Dark metal railings line the edges of the stepped upper setbacks and the roof parapet, and a curved metal canopy hangs above the main entrance, complementing the arched fenestration above.

This might be one of the most egregious examples of greenwashing in a rendering I’ve ever seen.
Otherwise, a nice building.
My god, you do realize the building is JUST finishing up construction. Did you really expect a mature set of trees, shrubs and vines to have fully grown by this point??? 🤦🏽♂️
Look at how many years it took for Oasis Hotel Downtown in Singapore to be covered in its vines, which were planted AFTER constructing the tower…
He means that it will never look like the rendering much like every other building with vines portrayed in this country. And who gives a crap about Singapore.
Yes it can. For a project of this quality in Greenwich Village, I’m more than confident it will live up to its intended look in the renderings
And way to take a jab at Singapore with your cranky, cantankerous and rambunctious attitude (as usual). Really shows your small-minded personality and your inability to think beyond your physical and mental capacity to see the world. And how convenient you kept your mouth shut about the 9/11 memorial comment; too much of a coward to give the same level of hatred and hostile apathy are you?
445 Central Park West, 640 West End Avenue, and 311 West 11th Street. If those are not clear examples of vine-covered buildings in New York City, then I don’t know what to tell you Mayor Kenny, other than TAKE A FUCKING HIKE around Manhattan if you lack the will to go outside the country or read about other buildings and cities. Pathetic uptight piece of shit
God, you never stop complaining Mayor Kenny. So a comparison of a building or city outside a America is dismissed, but an example of the 9/11 memorial’s landscaping (which FYI does have vines in case you never visited the site) gets no mention from you?? Would love to hear your opinion, or hear another unhinged critique. I f*cking double dare you to speak and respond to that if you think you’re so smart
“Who gives a crap about Singapore?” Mayor Kenny
Uhh apparently you do you stupid fuckface, albeit in an aggressive and extremely shuddered tone & lack of perspective
Mayor Kenny, your sick, reprehensible, and degrading tone is deplorable and as trashy as TMZ. Grow up and learn to create an open dialogue instead of causing a row like you always do
Mayor Kenny, so that’s all you do? Just comment once and not have the decency to respond back because people proved you wrong? Little sh.it
Samuel, I bet you said the same thing when they proposed the 9/11 Memorial showing renderings with all the trees fully grown, and critiquing how short and small the newly planted trees were in 2011. Have some respect and patience for the designers and landscapers
Real windows!..looks great!
Slowly but surely University Place disappears.
Looks a lot better than what replaced it
And the feeling of a neighborhood is diminished.
Are you seriously going to weep over the loss of an insignificant four story brick building over this new project? There’s room for growth in this city, and plenty of undistinguished structures that aren’t worth saving
Nice brick work. Overall, the design is somewhat reminiscent of KPF’s new 520 Fifth Avenue tower. After these two, maybe cool it on the arched windows for a while?
Beat me to it… LOL
So a shorter brick version of Kohn Pedersen Fox’s 520 Fifth Ave… Looks nice!
This one looks very homey with all of the trees and greenery about the building. Nice job!
Yes I can’t wait for them to get to the landscaping phase of construction, which should very imminent! Wish Michael Young could get photos of that private garden one day
Excellent photos with the contrast of light and shadows on the arches 💞
So is this actually panelized brick? Because those mortar joints are barely noticeable, or non existent.
the brick was hand laid. it was not panelized .. I saw them working on it.
I think you’re right—you can see joints between panels.
What’s going on with those “keystone” limestone pieces? Are those mistakes? Those don’t look quite right.
It’s better than average, but the cut and paste too thin arches get old.
the brick facade was hand laid .. it was not panelized.
Thanks, Steve for the fact check! Really is quite impressive work then!
Definitely a heck of a lot more attractive than most new construction, but it seems far too “busy” of a facade design. Too many layers of brick around the windows, and the railings are just plain ugly.
Love the brickwork! It gives it that old world look.
As for the plants…. They will grow and look lovely !
Must be patience!
I hope to see the vines grow in the future! There are some really nice buildings around Manhattan that are covered in them like in the village on West 11th Street. Just gotta walk around the Instagram and Tik Tok influencers haha
Very nice building, stopped by the other day, looks promising…
The signature is craft of the arches, emphasizes light and the building’s structural charm: Thanks.
Yimby should do a follow-up on this building in like two or three years from now and show how much growth of the greenery progressed since the building’s completion
