397 West 12th Street
Five raw-space residences in a dramatic new West Village building.
BUILDING
At the water's edge of Greenwich Village, the tree-lined cobblestone streets open to sweeping vistas of the Hudson River. Just steps from the river park stands 397 West 12th Street, a new condominium which eloquently captures this dynamic threshold of intimacy and expansiveness. Renowned architect and developer Cary Tamarkin's hand-laid Roman brick facade accented by expanses of authentic divided-light steel windows expresses a distinct lineage with the neighborhood's classic maritime warehouses.
