RAMSA’s 16 Fifth Avenue Completes Construction in Greenwich Village, Manhattan

by Zygis Kristis

Construction is finished on 16 Fifth Avenue, a 19-story residential building in Greenwich Village, Manhattan. Designed by Robert A.M. Stern Architects and developed in a joint venture between Madison Realty Capital and City Urban Realty, the 241-foot-tall structure yields 14 condominium units. Hill West Architects was the architect of record for the property, which is located on an interior lot between East 8th and 9th Streets, just north of Washington Square Park.

All scaffolding, fencing, and barricades have been removed from the base of the structure since our last update in August, when the lower levels were still obscured. The following photos show the completed look of the exterior and its prewar-inspired brick and limestone façade, as well as the finished entrance beneath an arched canopy.

Madison Realty Capital purchased the 5,255-square-foot plot for $27.5 million in 2015. Corcoran Sunshine Marketing Group is handling sales and marketing for the property.

Homes come with millwork and hardware from Christopher Peacock, Miele appliances, and bathrooms lined with Calacatta honed marble walls and floors with a mosaic inlay. Each of the eight full-floor residences includes a powder room, three en-suite baths, and a fourth bath that can be adapted to en-suite use, as well as an in-unit washer and dryer, and a commodious sink that is discreetly located in the hall of the guest wing.

The upper duplex and triplex units are described by the design firm as “townhouses in the sky.” These homes come with five bedrooms, six en-suite bathrooms, and two powder rooms. Primary suites include dual dressing rooms as well as bathrooms, in addition to an outdoor terrace or Juliet balcony.

Residential amenities include a private dining room, a catering kitchen, a tranquility lounge, fitness center, golf simulator suite, a 24/7 attended lobby, private storage, and bike storage.

The nearest subways from the development are the A, B, C, D, E, F, and M trains at the West 4th Street–Washington Square station to the west along Sixth Avenue.
