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 condominium ownership with owner leasing permitted; confirm financing and pied-à-terre rules in the current declaration and bylaws.

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 particular sense of openness; compare actual sight lines, window area and light with masonry alternatives. 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. Compare that 40-home scale and service program with the specific alternatives.

As a condominium, purchases clear through a right-of-first-refusal rather than a co-op board admissions process, and owner leasing is permitted. Confirm financing, pied-à-terre and ownership-entity rules in the current declaration, bylaws and house rules.

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.

Facade safety — Local Law 11

Safe
What this means for you

The latest available FISP filing classified the facade as Safe — no repairs were required at that inspection. A filed Safe grade is not a guarantee of current condition: owners still maintain the facade and, where required, observe parapets each year. Future inspection timing (Local Law 49 of 2025 changed the cycle framework from October 1, 2026), repair and any assessment decisions remain building-specific.

How to read this, and where it comes from

QEWI = Qualified Exterior Wall Inspector — a licensed professional engineer or registered architect who meets DOB’s FISP qualifications and signs 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.

Market read. Most recent trades (2026 to date) cleared a median $1,809/sf (floor-adjusted) across 6 sales. Floor-adjusted means each sale is restated to a constant mix of floors, so the figure can differ from the plain median of the sales listed above. Median listing discount 3.0% from the last ask — a recurring negotiation gap worth pricing into any offer or listing strategy.

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, purchases run through 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 difference, 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.

Establish current inventory, turnover and competing supply from listings and recorded sales rather than assuming a small buyer-choice set. 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. Confirm the condominium’s actual transfer procedures and the lender and title timetable; ownership form alone does not guarantee a faster or more predictable closing.

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.
