Saint Germain occupies one of the West Village's signature corners: directly opposite the Jefferson Market Library and Garden, where Greenwich Avenue meets West 10th Street. The cooperative runs as a single building across the 23–35 Greenwich Avenue and 129–131 West 10th Street frontage — which is why apartments here are most often found under the Saint Germain / 33 Greenwich Avenue name even though the building carries the 23 Greenwich address as well.
This is a full-service postwar cooperative with a 24-hour doorman, a fitness center, an on-site parking garage, and a furnished roof deck — a deep amenity package at a co-op price basis. One nuance buyers should understand: it is a partial (non-eviction) cooperative conversion, meaning for-sale co-op apartments coexist with remaining sponsor rental units, some of which are rent-stabilized. That structure is common in 1980s Village conversions and does not affect the for-sale co-op apartments' marketability, but it is worth understanding when reviewing the building's financials.
The position opposite Jefferson Market — one of the most recognizable landmarks in the city — gives the building permanent open views and light to the south and west that cannot be built out.
Architecture and unit composition
Saint Germain is a 15-story postwar white-brick tower of roughly 150 residential units. Its most distinctive architectural feature is the cantilevered, protruding floor plates along the Greenwich Avenue façade, which give the building a recognizable rhythm and provide many apartments with light on multiple exposures. The apartment mix runs from studios and one-bedrooms through larger layouts. The building offers full elevator service and modern systems.
Building operations
The building operates as a full-service cooperative with a 24-hour doorman, a live-in superintendent, a fitness center, an on-site parking garage, a furnished roof deck, central laundry, a bike room, and private storage. It is managed by an outside professional management firm. The building has historically carried a low violation profile and steady operations.
As with any cooperative, buyers should review the building's financial statements, the most recent reserve study, board minutes, and any planned assessments or capital projects during due diligence — and, given the partial-conversion structure, should pay attention to the balance of co-op shares versus remaining sponsor rental units in the financials. The board's financing, sublet, and any flip-tax policies are variable and should be confirmed at offer stage.

Facade safety — Local Law 11
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.

As a cooperative, Saint Germain prices on a per-room and per-share basis rather than per square foot. Recent recorded sales place studios and one-bedrooms roughly in the high-$800,000s to about $1.1 million, with larger and renovated apartments higher — a value position for a full-service building on this corner. One recent one-bedroom traded near $1.1 million, around $1,570 per square foot when normalized. Maintenance, room count, exposure (the Jefferson Market views command a premium), floor, and renovation level drive most of the spread between comparable units. Specific figures should be confirmed against current recorded transfers at offer stage.

Sales sourced from NYC Department of Finance recorded transfers (BBL 1-00611-0065) 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 on co-ops is not officially recorded, figures shown are approximate.
What to know if you’re buying
Understand the partial-conversion structure. This is a non-eviction co-op conversion with remaining sponsor rentals. It does not affect your co-op apartment's marketability, but review how the financials handle the rental units during due diligence.
Views and the garage are the premium features. Apartments facing Jefferson Market have protected open outlooks; the on-site garage is scarce at this price point. Prioritize accordingly and confirm garage availability with management.
It's a co-op — expect a board. Purchases require board approval and a financial package; the board sets the minimum down payment, sublet rules, and any flip tax. Confirm those parameters at offer stage.
Run the co-op math. Factor maintenance and any assessments into your monthly carry, and run the purchase through the Buyer Closing Cost Calculator.
What to know if you’re selling
Lead with the corner and the views. Opposite Jefferson Market, with a 24-hour doorman, a garage, gym, and roof deck — that combination at a co-op basis is the pitch.
Be ready to explain the conversion structure. A clear, confident explanation of the non-eviction conversion reassures buyers and keeps the deal moving.
Price by room, view, and condition. Comparable co-op sales here turn on room count, exposure, maintenance, and renovation level.
