181 MacDougal Street is a new-construction boutique condominium in Greenwich Village — a Morris Adjmi design for The Straus Group, delivered into the Greenwich Village Historic District one block north of Washington Square Park. Adjmi is among the architects most associated with contextual new construction in New York's landmark districts, and 181 MacDougal is a characteristic result: a hand-laid brick facade calibrated to fit the surrounding streetwall, reviewed and approved by the Landmarks Preservation Commission, wrapped around warm, modern interiors.
What buyers respond to here is the combination of a marquee location, a serious design pedigree, and new-construction quality — a scarce package this close to Washington Square Park. With only 16 residences across seven floors, the building is genuinely boutique, and it is finished to a high specification, with Gaggenau appliances, Calacatta Lux quartzite counters, wide-plank oak floors, and multi-zone HVAC. The amenity set — a concierge-staffed parlor lobby, a library lounge, a fitness center, and a pet spa — is pitched above what a building of this size would typically carry.
This is a building for buyers who want brand-new, design-led ownership in the heart of Greenwich Village, steps from the park.
Architecture and unit composition
Morris Adjmi's design is a study in contextual new construction: a hand-laid brick facade that reads as a natural addition to the Greenwich Village streetscape rather than an imported modern box, its proportions and materials calibrated to the historic district and approved through Landmarks review. Inside, the language turns warm and modern — a deliberate contrast to the traditional exterior.
The 16 residences run from one- and two-bedroom homes to a penthouse with a large wraparound terrace, with interiors specified at a high level: Gaggenau appliances, Calacatta Lux quartzite counters, wide-plank oak floors, and multi-zone VRF HVAC. The seven-story scale keeps the building low and boutique, and the plans are laid out to capture Greenwich Village light and, in the upper homes, private outdoor space.
Building operations
181 MacDougal Street operates as a full-service boutique condominium: a parlor-style lobby with a 24/7 concierge, a library lounge, a fitness center, a pet spa, and bicycle and private storage — a deep package for a 16-residence building. Because the building sits within the Greenwich Village Historic District, its exterior was subject to Landmarks review, and any future visible alteration would be as well. As new construction, the systems and finishes are new; buyers should still review the offering plan, the sponsor's construction and warranty representations, reserves, and the projected common charges during due diligence, as is prudent for any newly delivered condominium.

As a condominium, 181 MacDougal Street prices on a price-per-square-foot basis, with floor, exposure, outdoor space, and the finish level supporting the building's premiums; the penthouse with its wraparound terrace carries the building's top pricing. As a recent new-construction building, early transactions are sponsor sales, with resale and owner-rental activity to follow over time; it is an ownership condominium, not a rental building. Apartment-level context — floor, exposure, outdoor space, and layout — drives pricing more than any building average, and the Morris Adjmi design and the Washington Square Park proximity support pricing for residences that present well.

What to know if you’re buying
Location and design are the assets. New-construction quality by Morris Adjmi, one block from Washington Square Park, is a scarce combination; the location and the pedigree carry the value.
This is new construction with a deep amenity set. Concierge, library lounge, fitness center, and pet spa for 16 residences — a well-appointed package, with common charges to match.
The finish level is high. Gaggenau, quartzite, oak floors, and multi-zone HVAC are standard; the penthouse adds a large wraparound terrace.
Condo flexibility is real. Pied-à-terre, subletting, foreign buyers, and LLC/trust ownership are permitted under the declaration; closings run on condo timelines.
Mansion tax thresholds apply. At this building's pricing, the $1M, $2M, and higher cliffs are in play. Run pricing through the Mansion Tax Calculator.
Variable board financial policy — confirm at offer stage. Financing percentages and any sublet terms specific to your situation should be confirmed in writing before you commit.
What to know if you’re selling
Lead with the park and the pedigree. The Washington Square Park proximity, the Morris Adjmi design, and the new-construction quality are the differentiators; marketing should foreground them.
Pricing requires apartment-level comps. With 16 residences, floor, exposure, outdoor space, and layout all move the number; the penthouse trades on its own terms.
Present the finishes. In a new, design-led building, photography and staging that read the material quality support price.

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.
