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…
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.
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.
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.
