Renwick Street is one block long. It runs between Spring and Canal, carries no through traffic worth the name, and most New Yorkers have never walked it. That obscurity is the product being sold on this block, and 15 Renwick is the larger of the two condominiums that sell it — 31 residences behind a charcoal-finned façade, with a full-time doorman, an on-site garage, and roughly 8,300 square feet of private outdoor space distributed across the building.
The design comes from ODA New York, and the outdoor space is the argument. ODA's published account of the project describes taking the zoning dormer rule — which governs how much floor area may encroach into a building's setback line — and reinterpreting it to dissect the upper massing into geometric pockets. What that produces on the ground is terraces where a conventional setback would have produced roofline, glass doors demarcating the transitions, and sun exposure at floors that would ordinarily have none. Three townhomes at the base carry private yards; four penthouse duplexes at the top carry multiple terraces and roof decks. The exterior fins are the second half of the same idea: deep enough to shadow the elevation and to block direct sightlines from the street into the residences, which on a one-block street is a meaningful amount of privacy.
The building's history is a compressed record of the financial-crisis cycle in Hudson Square. A new-building application for this site was filed in July 2006 under PHH Realty Group and GGP Renwick LLC, for a 13-story, 163-foot building with Ismael Leyva Architects on the filings. Excavation and shoring proceeded through 2007 and 2008 and then stopped. The site sat. Ownership moved through a joint venture and ultimately to Izaki Group Investments, the scheme was redesigned by ODA at 11 stories and 119 feet, construction restarted in 2012 and ran through 2014, and the condominium subdivision was filed in January 2016 with closings beginning the following month. Stale records still carry the 13-story figure, and it is worth knowing that the taller number in circulation describes a building that was never built.
Two data problems follow this address and both are worth correcting before anyone underwrites here. PLUTO reports zero residential units at 15 Renwick. The building has 31 residences. City assessment records classify the 46 condominium unit lots individually — 31 residential, 3 parking, 12 storage — and the DOB new-building application proposes 31 dwelling units. The zero is a coding artifact of the condominium billing lot and nothing more. Separately, PLUTO addresses the billing lot as 23 Renwick Street, one of the predecessor tax-lot addresses, so an address search on "15 Renwick" against raw city data will often return nothing at all.
The transactional fact that matters most is the tax posture. 15 Renwick's new-building application predates the 2008 tightening of 421-a eligibility, and the residential units carried a 421-a exemption into the 2018/19 assessment roll. That benefit is gone. No residential unit lot shows an exemption in the FY2023 through FY2027 rolls. Owners who bought early in the building's life underwrote an abated number; anyone buying today is underwriting a fully taxed one. It is the first thing to model and the last thing to be surprised by.
Architecture and unit composition
Eleven stories on a 9,000-square-foot lot, roughly 50,000 square feet of building, 31 residences. The elevation is a rhythm of deep charcoal aluminum fins with wood-grained window inserts set between them and copper panels running the ground floor — a material palette closer to a private house than to the glass boxes that went up across downtown in the same cycle, and a deliberate rebuttal to them.
Residences run predominantly two- and three-bedroom through the main stack. The three townhomes at the base each carry a private yard and their own entry sequence, and they trade as a distinct product from the tower units — larger, ground-connected, and priced on a different logic. The four penthouse duplexes at the top of the building carry the largest terraces and roof decks and have historically set the building's price ceiling by a wide margin.
Interiors were delivered with Poliform kitchens in walnut, Miele, Sub-Zero and Dacor appliances, wide-plank walnut floors, floor-to-ceiling glass, Waterworks fixtures, Crestron home automation, and herringbone statuary marble baths. Common areas carry Emperador marble and wood panelling that echoes the exterior fins. Nearly a decade on, that specification has aged well, but a buyer should still evaluate the condition of the Crestron systems specifically — home-automation hardware from the mid-2010s is the component most likely to need replacement, and it is rarely disclosed.
Private outdoor space is distributed unevenly across the building. A yard, a terrace, a balcony and a roof deck are not interchangeable at resale, and the specific outdoor configuration on a given unit is a first-order pricing input rather than a bullet point.
Building operations
15 Renwick runs as a full-service condominium: 24-hour doorman, fitness center with a boxing gym, a landscaped Zen garden designed by HM White Site Architects, a roof deck, a residents' lounge, private storage units, and an on-site parking garage with optional private parking. The garage is a genuine differentiator in Hudson Square, where on-site parking in a boutique building is uncommon, and the parking units are separately deeded condominium lots rather than a rented amenity — three parking unit lots exist in the condominium and they transfer independently.
The twelve storage unit lots work the same way. They are separately deeded, they transfer independently, and in practice they are often conveyed together with a residence in a single deed. That has a practical consequence for anyone reading raw ACRIS on this building: a recorded consideration may cover a residence plus one or more storage or parking lots, so headline transfer amounts pulled from public records do not always describe the apartment alone.
With 31 residences carrying a doorman, a garage, a gym and a landscaped garden, common charges price above the leanest boutique alternatives in the neighborhood and below the flagship full-amenity developments. Request the current operating budget, the reserve position, and any assessment history during diligence — the building is now approaching a decade of operation, which is the point in a new building's life when the first significant capital items typically surface.
Policy framework
Ownership form: Condominium. Transfers close through a right-of-first-refusal waiver rather than a cooperative board approval; 30 to 45 day closings are typical.
Pied-à-terre, subletting, LLC, trust and foreign ownership: All permitted under the standard condominium framework. Minimum lease terms for subletting should be confirmed against the by-laws.
Pets: Governed by the house rules; confirm current policy with the managing agent.
Minimum down payment: 20 percent per listing records.
In-unit washer/dryer: Permitted; residences are equipped.
Parking and storage: Separately deeded condominium units. Confirm whether a specific residence conveys with a parking or storage unit, and price it separately — these lots carry their own common charges and taxes.
Flip tax: Not documented in public records. Confirm any resale capital contribution with the managing agent before pricing a sale.
Real estate taxes: The 421-a exemption that applied through the 2018/19 roll no longer appears on any residential unit lot in the FY2023 through FY2027 rolls. Underwrite full unabated taxes and run True Monthly Carrying Cost analysis against the current bill on the specific unit.

421-a Tax Abatement

- Fully taxed since
- 2023

- 421-a (10-year)
The 421-a benefit has run its term. Taxes on these units have stepped up toward the full assessed amount, so the low carrying cost this building once carried is no longer available. Price from the current tax bill, and treat any comparable sale made while the abatement was still running as a different asset.

What to know if you’re buying
Discard the city unit count. PLUTO shows zero residential units at this BBL and addresses the lot as 23 Renwick Street. The building has 31 residences, plus 3 parking and 12 storage units, and the DOB new-building application says so. Automated valuation output on this address should be treated as unreliable until the count is corrected by hand.
The 421-a is gone. It applied through 2018/19 and appears nowhere in the current rolls. Underwrite full taxes; do not model a step-down that has already happened.
Price the outdoor space specifically. Yards, terraces, balconies and roof decks are distributed unevenly across 31 residences and are the largest single driver of unit-level value here.
Confirm what conveys. Parking and storage are separate deeded units with their own charges. Establish in writing whether either travels with the apartment.
Check the Crestron. Mid-2010s home automation is the specification most likely to need replacement, and it rarely appears on a disclosure.
The building is not 22 Renwick. The two condominiums share a block and nothing else. 15 Renwick is the 31-residence ODA building with a doorman and a garage; 22 Renwick Street is the 17-residence Philip Johnson Alan Ritchie building across the street, with a different service model, a different developer history and different economics. Aggregator data confuses them regularly.
Canal Street is one block south. The block itself is quiet; the Holland Tunnel approach shapes the neighborhood's western edge. Test specific exposures for sound.
What to know if you’re selling
Lead with the block and the service package. A one-block street, 31 residences, a full-time doorman, an on-site garage and 8,300 square feet of private outdoor space is a combination nothing else in Hudson Square offers at this scale.
Correct the record before a buyer's analyst does. City data reports zero residential units and a different street address. Handing a buyer the DOB and assessment records up front removes an objection that would otherwise surface late.
Be direct about taxes. The abatement has expired. Presenting the current full bill alongside True Monthly Carrying Cost analysis is a stronger position than letting a buyer discover a number they did not model.
Use the corridor for comparables. With 31 residences, same-building comps are thin outside the penthouse tier. The boutique Hudson Square, west-SoHo and north Tribeca condominium set, adjusted for outdoor space and floor, is the right anchor.
Sell the neighborhood's trajectory. The 2013 rezoning, Disney's headquarters at 4 Hudson Square, and Google's expansion into St. John's Terminal have changed the daytime economy of these blocks, and the buyer pool increasingly includes people who work within five minutes of the front door.

How to read the facts on this page. Items attributed to an offering plan describe the building as it was offered at that filing — unit mix, square footage, the amenity program as planned. They are not a statement about how the building operates today. Tax and compliance figures are sourced separately to current City records and carry their own dates. House rules, staffing and fee policy can change by board resolution without any public filing: treat every policy line here as a starting point for diligence and confirm it with the managing agent.
