3 West 13th Street is a 2006/2007-vintage boutique condominium on a quiet mid-block stretch of Greenwich Village between Fifth and Sixth Avenues — one of the corridor's clearest examples of the contemporary loft-style new-construction tier layered into the Greenwich Village Historic District's broader pre-war and townhouse-residential character.
Three structural features distinguish the building:
The first is the seven-full-floor-residence configuration. Seven units across nine stories produces an unusually thin building-occupancy footprint relative to the corridor's contemporary condominium inventory — most contemporary GV condos at this scale carry materially more units per floor. The full-floor format delivers buyers substantial apartment-level privacy (one residence per landing, no shared hallway between units), direct keyed-elevator service to each apartment, and the architectural register of a single-floor floor-plate rather than the carved-up sub-unit configurations that define more commodified contemporary new-construction.
The second is the loft-style 12-foot-plus ceilings + floor-to-ceiling windows configuration. The apartments deliver a substantively-tall ceiling height and substantial natural light through the floor-to-ceiling glass — an architectural register more commonly associated with the converted prewar loft inventory in NoHo and the West Village than with most 2006-vintage Manhattan new-construction. The combination of the ceiling height, the glass, and the gas fireplaces produces an apartment register that reads as a contemporary loft rather than as a generic new-construction condo.
The third is the permissive policy framework. The building permits pied-à-terres, pets (cats and dogs), and in-unit washer/dryers — a posture that supports both the primary-resident and pied-à-terre buyer pools, and that materially widens the qualified-buyer set at every price point compared to the more restrictive policy frameworks that define many Greenwich Village pre-war cooperative buildings.
For buyers, 3 West 13th Street represents the contemporary boutique-condominium tier of the Greenwich Village residential inventory — full-floor format, loft-style architectural register, permissive buyer-eligibility, and a mid-block position immediately off the Fifth Avenue spine.
Architecture and unit composition
Completed in 2006/2007, the building is a 9-story contemporary mid-block condominium with seven residential floors (the ground floor and lower levels carry the building's commercial, mechanical, and access programs).
The apartment program is consistent across floors — full-floor residences ranging from approximately 1,100 to 1,700 square feet, with the higher floors carrying the building's premium pricing and the corner-of-building exposures supporting two-exposure light advantage on the upper floors.
The signature apartment features are the 12-foot-plus ceilings, the floor-to-ceiling glass, the gas fireplaces (decorative — wood-burning is not permitted), the central HVAC (supporting the floor-to-ceiling-glass envelope), and the bamboo flooring that defines the apartment's base architectural register. Some apartments carry private balconies and the city / Greenwich Village skyline views that the upper-floor exposures support.

Sales sourced from NYC Department of Finance recorded transfers (BBL 1-00577-7503) 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 from recorded condo declarations and offering plans.
What to know if you’re buying
Two practical considerations:
Apartment-level diligence is apartment-specific. With seven full-floor residences across nine stories and meaningful exposure / view / floor variation between floors, apartment-level diligence should be calibrated to the specific floor and exposure. Higher floors carry the premium pricing and the cleaner south-facing skyline view exposure.
Verify the apartment-level finish and configuration. The building's loft-style architectural register is consistent across the inventory, but individual apartment finish updates, fireplace status, balcony configuration, and storage assignments vary apartment-by-apartment and have evolved across the building's nearly two decades of post-completion ownership.
