45 Christopher Street is one of only four prewar doorman condominium buildings in Greenwich Village — a 1931 Boak & Paris commission for Leo Bing's five-building Village development. That prewar-doorman-condominium scarcity is the building's defining fact; only four such buildings exist in the neighborhood. Its place in the city's history runs deeper still through the Christopher Park / Stonewall Inn adjacency, where the building's ground-floor shop windows were smashed during the Stonewall riots. Topping it off is a recently renovated landscaped roof deck with 360-degree views, a rarity for a prewar Village building.
The maintenance includes electricity, heat, and hot water — unusual cost predictability.

Sales sourced from NYC Department of Finance recorded transfers (BBL 1-00610-7501) 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
The four-prewar-doorman-condominiums-in-Greenwich-Village scarcity is structurally distinguishing.
The Boak & Paris architectural pedigree connects to substantial Manhattan prewar body of work.
The Christopher Park / Stonewall Inn adjacency is real cultural-history context.
The roof deck with 360-degree views is structurally distinctive for a prewar Village building.
The all-included common charges (electricity, heat, hot water) provide cost predictability.
The 1986-1987 condominium conversion produces maximum policy flexibility versus surrounding coops.
