Facade installation underway at 16 Fifth Avenue in Greenwich Village, Manhattan

Facade installation is underway at 16 Fifth Avenue, a 19-story residential building in Greenwich Village, Manhattan. Designed by Robert AM Stern Architects and Hill West Architects and developed by Madison Realty Capital, the 241-foot-tall building will yield 14 condominiums. The property is located on an interior lot between East 8th and 9th Streets, north of Washington Square Park.

The reinforced concrete superstructure had been completed since our last update at the beginning of November, when only a few floors remained to be formed and the upper floors were covered with wooden formwork. Recent photos show the grid of windows with black mullions spread across many voids on the main eastern facade and crews in the process of laying the earth-colored brick shell from a suspended scaffold. YIMBY expects bricklaying work to continue throughout the winter, followed by the installation of dark metal balcony railings on the upper half of the building.

The brick facade is finished in a mix of earth tones and features white keystone blocks above each window.

A final set of architectural renderings has yet to be publicly announced. The following renderings show the earlier version of 16 Fifth Avenue, which uses much of the same building structure but features a different window structure and facade palette.

A list of residential facilities was also not published.

Madison Realty Capital purchased the 5,255-square-foot property in 2015 for $27.5 million.

YIMBY expects construction work to be completed by the end of 2025 or early 2026 at the latest.
