60 University Place — The Wordsworth — is a 1925–26 Romanesque Revival cooperative by Sugarman & Berger, on the northwest corner of University Place and East 10th Street. The building is marketed under both the University Place and 21 East 10th Street addresses; both refer to the same corner building and cooperative corporation.
Its appeal is prewar character in a prime Village location: decorative arches and original ironwork on the exterior, an elegant lobby, and apartments with high ceilings, original hardwood floors, and wood-burning fireplaces. The building sits between Washington Square Park and Union Square.

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.

The retrade record
Lines that have traded more than once in the public record — the building’s appreciation arc, apartment by apartment.
Full closing history with price-per-square-foot over time, the complete retrade record, and every line that has traded.
Sales sourced from NYC Department of Finance recorded transfers (BBL 1-00568-0024) 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
Search both addresses. The Wordsworth is marketed as both 60 University Place and 21 East 10th Street — one building, one cooperative.
This is a primary-residence cooperative. Pied-à-terre use is generally not permitted, and subletting is restricted — plan for owner-occupancy.
The prewar character is genuine. Sugarman & Berger's Romanesque Revival detailing survives, and apartments retain fireplaces and original floors.
Location is prime Village. The corner sits between Washington Square Park and Union Square.
