100 Avenue A is the East Village condominium market at its most location-defined: a boutique, 32-unit new-construction building sitting directly on Tompkins Square Park, at the corner of Avenue A and East 7th Street. In a neighborhood whose ownership stock runs to walk-up co-ops, HDFC buildings, and a handful of amenity condominiums, a doorman condominium with a park frontage and a roof deck looking over the tree canopy is a structurally scarce product — the address does work that no floor plan can replicate.
The building is deliberately contextual. Completed in 2017 by Magnum Real Estate Group to a design by Issac & Stern Architects, it was built new but styled to read older — red brick over a dark metal base, industrial-style windows, and a set-back top floor — so that it settles into the low-rise tenement fabric rather than announcing itself against it. That restraint is the point on Avenue A, where the buyer is choosing the East Village's texture, and the finish package and doorman service are the modern conveniences layered underneath.
The site itself carries the neighborhood's history. Before the condominium, the parcel held a 1920s theater that later became a market, most recently the grocery East Village Farms, which closed in 2012 before the block was cleared and rebuilt. And across the street sits Tompkins Square Park — the ground zero of the 1988 anti-gentrification confrontation that became a national symbol, a park closed entirely for restoration in the early 1990s and now the green heart of the neighborhood. A luxury condominium on that corner is its own commentary on how far the East Village has traveled; buyers shopping the building tend to know the history and value it.
Architecture and unit composition
The building rises eight stories, stepping back above the sixth floor, in a contextual contemporary idiom: a red-brick masonry veneer over a black-metal-wrapped base, industrial-style windows set into the grid, charcoal cornices, and a metal-panel upper level. The 32 residences run to one- and two-bedroom layouts and a penthouse tier, with the upper and park-facing units carrying the Tompkins Square exposure and light that define the address. Every home has an in-unit washer/dryer and central air; finishes were specified to a new-construction standard, with a marble-clad lobby. Park-facing and upper-floor lines command the premium here; interior and lower units should be evaluated for light in person.
Building operations
This is boutique full-service ownership at neighborhood scale: a 24-hour doorman, an elevator, a landscaped common roof deck with park views, a second-floor common garden, and bicycle and private storage. A fitness use occupies the building's ground-floor retail — a convenience at the door, though a commercial tenant rather than a private residents-only gym. Common charges are spread across a small owner base; the offering plan, by-laws, budget, and reserve study should be reviewed carefully during diligence, with attention to the retail component and how it factors into building economics. We obtain current building documents from the managing agent for clients at offer stage.

Facade safety — Local Law 11
Safe to live in today — but the last inspection flagged repairs that are due on a deadline, so facade work and its cost are coming. Whether that’s a real concern depends on the scope, the timing, and how the building plans to pay for it — reserves or an assessment — which is exactly what we’d dig into for you.

Sales sourced from NYC Department of Finance recorded transfers (BBL 1-00402-7503) and verified listing data. Apartment-level facts (line, condition, asking-price context) curated and cross-verified by The Roebling Team research desk. Not all transactions cross-verify with ACRIS records — sponsor and LLC purchases sometimes record at stipulated values rather than market price; square footage from recorded condo declarations and offering plans.
What to know if you’re buying
You are buying the park frontage. The premium here is Tompkins Square Park at the door and the doorman-condominium format in a neighborhood that has little of it. Confirm the specific unit's exposure to the park — the address value concentrates in the units that actually see it.
Contextual, not flashy, is the design brief. The building is intentionally restrained to fit the block. If you want a glass-tower amenity stack, this is the wrong product; if you want the East Village with a doorman, it is squarely the right one.
Understand the retail component. A ground-floor commercial tenant is a convenience but also part of the building's economics. Review how the retail factors into the budget and any shared-systems arrangements during diligence.
Verify the policy stack. The building is pet-friendly per listing records, and condominium subletting and pied-à-terre use are generally permitted, but leasing specifics and financing minimums are thinly documented publicly. We verify against the offering plan and managing agent during diligence.
Mansion tax applies across most of the building. Pricing here crosses the $1 million and $2 million thresholds — run the Mansion Tax Calculator at the intended price before offering. And weigh the full monthly carry with the True Monthly Carrying Cost Calculator.
What to know if you’re selling
Market the park, then the format. Direct Tompkins Square frontage plus doorman service is the scarcest combination in the neighborhood. Lead with the address and the light; the finish package supports the story rather than carrying it.
The neighborhood history is a genuine asset. The East Village's arc — from counterculture and the Tompkins Square years to today — resonates with exactly the buyer shopping this corner. Use it with precision and honesty.
Use adjusted comps. With a modest unit count and a park frontage, straight building-average pricing understates the best lines and overstates the interior ones. Comp the park-facing units against each other and the interior units against the broader East Village condominium set.
