The Greenwich Lane
The Greenwich Lane is a distinctive residential development located in the heart of the Greenwich Village Historic District in New York City. The project is designed to blend seamlessly with the neighborhood's historic character while offering modern living spaces and amenities.
Key features of The Greenwich Lane include:
Central garden: The residences are arranged around a spacious central garden, providing a tranquil green space for residents to enjoy.
Preservation and adaptive reuse: The development plan, approved by the Landmarks Preservation Commission, preserves key buildings based on their historical and architectural significance. These structures are integrated with new buildings to create a harmonious blend of old and new.
Varied building types: The project comprises a mix of building styles, including a high-rise tower on Seventh Avenue, four mid-rise buildings on 11th and 12th Street, and five new townhouses. This variety reflects the diverse architectural character of Greenwich Village.
Crafted apartment layouts: The unique conditions created by the multi-building plan allow for carefully designed apartment layouts that optimize space and livability.
Architectural vocabulary: The design incorporates architectural elements inspired by Greenwich Village, such as brick, stone, metal trim, and vertically proportioned windows. These details help the development blend seamlessly with the surrounding historic district.
The Greenwich Lane exemplifies a thoughtful approach to urban redevelopment, respecting the historic legacy of the site and the neighborhood while providing modern, high-quality residences. The project's success lies in its ability to strike a balance between preservation and innovation, creating a unique living experience in one of New York City's most iconic neighborhoods.
