The Greenwich Lane is a full-block, five-building condominium and townhouse development located between West 11th and West 12th Streets in the West Village. Developed by Rudin Management and Global Holdings and designed by FXCollaborative with interiors by Thomas O’Brien, the project transformed the former St. Vincent’s Hospital campus into one of the most comprehensive luxury developments downtown. With a mix of restored prewar buildings and new construction, it offers a rare combination of architectural character, large-scale amenities, and a fully landscaped interior garden that anchors the entire complex.

The Greenwich Lane was designed to feel like a continuation of the West Village rather than a standalone development. FXCollaborative combined restored brick and stone prewar structures with new construction that mirrors the neighborhood’s architectural rhythm. The mix of materials, window proportions, and building heights helps the project blend into its surroundings rather than read as a single, monolithic development.
One of the strongest design features is the fully landscaped interior garden at the center of the complex. Designed by M. Paul Friedberg & Partners, it connects all five buildings and creates a private courtyard with walking paths, plantings, and seating areas. Many units overlook this garden instead of the street, giving buyers a quieter interior exposure rarely found in Manhattan.
Interiors by Thomas O’Brien lean classic: warm woods, stone counters, custom cabinetry, Waterworks fixtures, and tailored lighting. The finishes strike a balance between traditional and contemporary, which supports long-term resale appeal. Ceiling heights generally range from 9 to 11 feet, and window placement was designed to maximize light given the varying building shapes and setbacks.
Residences range from one-bedrooms up to expansive four- and five-bedroom layouts, along with multi-level townhouses that line the West 11th Street side. The layouts emphasize separation of space, practical room proportions, and ample storage, which is consistent with what West Village buyers want.
Key livability features include:
Split-bedroom layouts in many of the larger units
Eat-in kitchens or large kitchen islands in higher-end lines
Walk-in storage, including utility and entry closets
Large primary suites, many with five-fixture bathrooms
Multiple exposures in corner units, improving natural light
Townhouses with private entrances, interior access to amenities, and outdoor space
Because the development spans an entire block, residents experience a quieter, more residential feel than typical full-service buildings. Many units face the interior garden instead of the street, which significantly reduces noise compared to units facing 7th Avenue or 12th Street.
Buyers who want layouts that work for everyday life — families, entertaining, long-term living — tend to respond strongly to the way these homes are designed.
One of the defining features of The Greenwich Lane is the scale and quality of its amenity package. It functions as a full-service urban campus.
24-Hour Doorman and Concierge: Multiple entrances, each staffed.
75-Foot Swimming Pool: Large, hotel-style pool with adjacent changing rooms.
Fitness Center: Fully equipped gym with cardio machines, free weights, benches, strength equipment, and a separate movement studio.
Golf Simulator: Private room for training or entertainment.
Screening Room: Theater-style seating for private events.
Residents’ Lounge: Wi-Fi, seating areas, and spaces suitable for meetings or casual work.
Children’s Playroom: Dedicated room with play equipment and activity space.
Private Courtyard Garden: Landscaped interior garden accessible only to residents.
Parking: On-site garage with direct building access.
Bike Storage and Package Rooms: Located across multiple building lobbies.
The amenity level is one of the strongest in the West Village, rivaled only by a handful of other full-service developments.
The Greenwich Lane occupies a prime section of the West Village, surrounded by tree-lined blocks and easy access to major corridors.
Nearby advantages include:
Hudson River Park within minutes for running, biking, and waterfront activities
7th Avenue, Greenwich Avenue, and Bleecker Street for restaurants, retail, and services
Quick access to the 1, 2, 3, A, C, E, L, F, M subway lines
Close proximity to the Meatpacking District, Union Square, and Chelsea
Local neighborhood staples such as Murray’s Cheese, Jack’s Stir Brew, Rosemary’s, and numerous independent shops and cafés
Even with the central location, many interior units face the private courtyard and offer a quieter experience than typical West Village addresses near 7th Avenue.
The Greenwich Lane consistently ranks among the strongest-performing condominiums downtown. Several factors support this:
Limited supply of large, luxury new development in the West Village
High-quality finishes and design that age well
A full-block footprint with amenities comparable to top-tier buildings
Strong demand from domestic and international buyers
Units with the most consistent resale strength include:
larger two- and three-bedroom units
townhouses with private outdoor space
corner units facing the interior garden
penthouses and units with significant terrace space
The building appeals to long-term end-users, high-net-worth buyers, and families seeking space and services within a walkable neighborhood.

The redevelopment of the former St. Vincent’s Hospital site was widely covered by major media outlets due to the scale and significance of the project. The New York Times, Curbed, and several architectural publications reported on the transition from a hospital campus to a residential development, including community debates, approvals, and the design approach.
This NYT article discusses the redevelopment context, community history, and architectural plans.
The Greenwich Lane is best suited for buyers who want large, well-designed homes in a full-service West Village development. It is ideal for families, long-term end-users, buyers who need amenities on par with luxury uptown properties, and anyone prioritizing quiet interior living with immediate access to top-tier neighborhood conveniences.
