130 West 12th Street is one of the most carefully executed prewar conversions in Greenwich Village — a 1941 masonry building reimagined as a 42-residence condominium by the Rudin family, with CookFox Architects leading a comprehensive restoration and Jed Johnson Associates designing the lobby and corridors. The project set a benchmark for what the trade calls eco-luxury: the building earned LEED-NC Gold certification from the U.S. Green Building Council and a Sustainable Design Award from Global Green USA, pairing a sustainable mechanical and envelope upgrade with the proportions and address that make the Village so coveted.
The result is a rare combination. Buyers get the flexibility of condominium ownership — financing latitude, pied-à-terre and investment use, a right-of-first-refusal rather than a co-op board — inside a full-service prewar building, in a protected historic district, developed by one of New York's most respected family ownership groups. In a neighborhood where most of the housing stock is co-op and walk-up, that combination is genuinely scarce.
Architecture and unit composition
The building is a 13-story prewar masonry structure whose comprehensive modernization was led by CookFox Architects, an office known for environmentally intelligent design, with interiors by Jed Johnson Associates. The restoration brought the building's systems and envelope to LEED Gold while preserving the prewar scale and street presence that situate it within the Greenwich Village Historic District.
The 42 residences run to refined, light-filled layouts with high-specification finishes — the product of a from-the-studs redevelopment rather than a cosmetic conversion. Floor plans span one- and two-bedroom homes through larger residences, with the upper floors and garden-facing units carrying the strongest light and quiet. Buyers should expect contemporary kitchens and baths, sustainable building systems, and the consistent quality control that a single, design-led developer delivers across an entire building.
Building operations
130 West 12th runs as a full-service condominium. Staffing is anchored by a 24-hour doorman and a live-in resident superintendent, with amenities that include a fitness center, a landscaped garden, a residents' lounge, and bicycle and private storage. As a condominium, ownership is flexible — financing rules are condominium-standard, pied-à-terre and investment purchases are customary, and resale clears through a right-of-first-refusal rather than a co-op board admissions process. The building is pet-friendly, and the LEED Gold systems translate to efficient, well-managed operations.

Facade safety — Local Law 11
The facade passed its last inspection with no required repairs — nothing to budget for here, and no facade assessment on the horizon for roughly five years.

What to know if you’re buying
This is a top-tier Greenwich Village condominium with a developer and design pedigree that hold value. Ownership is flexible — condominium financing rules apply, pied-à-terre and investor purchases are customary, and there is no co-op board package or interview, only a right-of-first-refusal. The build quality is the asset: a from-the-studs Rudin/CookFox restoration to LEED Gold standard is difficult to replicate, and it underpins both livability and resale. Evaluate each home on floor, light, and exposure — the garden-facing and upper-floor units carry the premium. We help buyers read the offering plan, the common-charge structure, and the comparison set across the Village's best condominium inventory.
What to know if you’re selling
Lead with the pedigree. Rudin development, CookFox restoration, Jed Johnson interiors, and LEED Gold certification are durable, marketable differentiators that distinguish a resale here from anything in the surrounding co-op and walk-up stock. Benchmark to the Village's premier condominium set, not to the broader co-op market — the buyer for this home wants the flexibility, finish, and full-service structure the building delivers. The condominium structure is itself a selling point — a faster, more predictable closing and a wider buyer pool, including pied-à-terre and investment purchasers. Presentation that showcases the finish quality and light produces the best results.
