The Urban Glass House at 330 Spring Street carries a distinction few buildings can claim: it was the last building designed by Philip Johnson, completed in 2006 after his death in 2005, with his longtime collaborator Alan Ritchie. The name is a deliberate echo of Johnson's 1949 Glass House in New Canaan, and the building translates that idea — transparency, light, the dissolution of the wall — into a twelve-story Hudson Square condominium of 40 homes. Annabelle Selldorf designed the lobby and interiors, layering a quiet, collector-grade sensibility over Johnson's glass envelope.
The building sits in Hudson Square, the increasingly coveted seam between SoHo, the West Village, and Tribeca, between Greenwich and Washington Streets. The Hudson River greenway and waterfront parks are a short walk west, SoHo's retail and the West Village's restaurant scene are minutes away, and transit is convenient — the 1 at Houston and Canal, the C/E at Spring, and the broader downtown network within easy reach.
As a design-pedigree condominium, the Urban Glass House offers both architectural provenance and the ownership flexibility — wider financing latitude, easier subletting, pied-à-terre and investment use — that buyers increasingly prioritize downtown.
Architecture and unit composition
The building's signature is its glass. Full-height glazed walls flood the residences with light and frame downtown and river views, with remote-controlled shades managing privacy and sun — a direct architectural reference to Johnson's original Glass House, reinterpreted for vertical urban living. The detailing is restrained and precise, in keeping with both Johnson's late vocabulary and Selldorf's interiors.
The 40 residences, including a penthouse, are finished to a high specification — stainless-steel kitchens and contemporary baths within open, light-first layouts. The homes run generously, and the glass walls give even mid-floor residences a sense of openness that masonry buildings cannot match. The penthouse crowns the building as its signature home.
Building operations
The Urban Glass House runs as a full-service condominium, with an attended lobby and fitness facilities serving its 40 households. The building's scale keeps it intimate while its staffing keeps it convenient — a balance that suits the design-minded buyer it attracts.
As a condominium, ownership is flexible: financing is not capped the way it is at a co-op, pied-à-terre and investment purchases are customary, and resale and subletting are materially freer than at the surrounding co-op stock. Purchases clear through a right-of-first-refusal rather than a co-op board admissions process — a lighter, faster path that the building's buyers value.

What to know if you’re buying
The case for the building is twofold: architectural provenance — Johnson's final work, with Selldorf interiors — and the light-first living the glass envelope delivers. Buyers should evaluate each home for its exposure, floor, and view, since the value of a glass building lies in what the glass frames. Higher floors and the penthouse carry a premium that reflects both the views and the scarcity of comparable design-pedigree inventory downtown.
Because it is a condominium, financing latitude is wide and the closing path is lighter — a right-of-first-refusal rather than a co-op board package and interview. For buyers weighing a downtown co-op against this building, that flexibility, plus the architectural pedigree, is often decisive.
What to know if you’re selling
The marketing core is the pedigree: Philip Johnson's last building, with interiors by Annabelle Selldorf, a glass envelope that references one of the most famous houses in American architecture. That story is unique and durable — it separates a resale here from any conventional glass condominium downtown. Sellers should foreground the provenance, the light, and the views, alongside the condominium flexibility.
Inventory is limited and turnover unhurried, so a well-prepared listing competes against few direct peers. Pricing should be benchmarked against the building's own activity and the small set of comparable Hudson Square and downtown condominiums, with light, view, and condition driving the final number. Condominium closing mechanics make for a faster, more predictable transaction — itself a selling point to the flexibility-minded buyer the building attracts.
