A Private Pricing Opinion — what your apartment at 165 Charles Street would likely sell for today, what it costs to sell, and what you’d walk away with — reviewed personally against condition, exposures, renovation quality, and the competition actually on the market.
165 Charles Street is the only Richard Meier project where the architect designed both exterior AND interiors — distinguishing it from the earlier 173 and 176 Perry Street commissions (where Meier designed exteriors only, with buyers commissioning their own interiors).
What anchors the building is the Meier-as-total-designer pedigree — exteriors and interiors resolved into a single coherent vision rather than the exterior-only commissions of the Perry Street twins. That completeness produced its signature amenity, a 50-foot infinity pool in a double-height atrium that ranks among the most photographed spaces in NYC residential, and it has drawn a trophy cultural resident roster to match: Calvin Klein, Natalie Portman, Martha Stewart, Princess Khaliya Aga Khan, the Winklevoss twins, Barbara Gladstone, and Norma Kamali.
Architecture and building operations
Meier's 2006 commission for Izak Senbahar's Alexico Group continued the architect's West Village glass-curtain trilogy began at 173 and 176 Perry. The 16-story all-glass facade is uniform with the Perry Street twins but adds Meier-designed interior architecture (lobby, common spaces, kitchens, baths) as part of the unified design vision.
Operations: 24-hour doorman; concierge; 50-foot infinity pool in double-height atrium; fitness center; spa; private screening room; landscaped roof terrace; private storage; bicycle storage; refrigerated package storage.

Common charges plus real estate taxes, combined into one monthly figure the way New York condominium listings show them. Add a mortgage payment for the monthly outlay. The split into common charges and taxes comes from the listings that also give the annual tax, a different sample, so the two lines need not add up exactly to the combined median; a tax abatement can hold taxes below the full amount until it expires. A summary of recorded sales and listings, not a current bill; charges change.

The latest available FISP filing classified the facade as Safe — no repairs were required at that inspection. Facade inspections run on a fixed five-year cycle; future inspection, repair, and any assessment decisions remain building-specific.
How to read this, and where it comes from
QEWI = Qualified Exterior Wall Inspector — the licensed engineer the city requires to sign the report (the independent expert, not the managing agent).
Penalties shown are amounts DOB assessed against filings on record across 2010–15 to 2020–25. The FISP dataset does not record whether they were paid, contested or remain open, so treat the figure as history rather than a current balance and confirm the building’s standing with the managing agent.

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. Where this page compares one building or neighborhood to another, that is our analysis of the recorded record — it names the measure, the period and the sample it rests on, and it is an observation about medians rather than a prediction about any particular apartment.
