644 Greenwich Street is a quiet, well-kept pre-war cooperative in the heart of the West Village, holding the Greenwich Street blockfront between Morton and Barrow. Built in 1920 and later converted to residential cooperative use, it is the kind of building the neighborhood is made of — masonry, loft-era proportions, a modest number of homes, and a location that puts Hudson River Park, the Christopher Street corridor, and the full texture of the West Village within a short walk.
For a buyer, 644 Greenwich is the West Village co-op done honestly: a small, self-contained building with an elevator and doorman, loft-scaled residences that reflect its early-twentieth-century bones, and the relative value a cooperative carries against a comparable condominium in one of Manhattan's most sought-after low-rise neighborhoods. With only 39 apartments, it trades on scarcity and character rather than amenity volume.
Architecture and unit composition
The building is a pre-war masonry structure of eight stories, built in 1920 to loft-era proportions and adapted over time into a residential cooperative. Its appeal is the character of that era — solid construction, generous ceiling heights and window openings typical of the period, and the human scale of a West Village blockfront rather than a tower.
With 39 residences across eight floors, the layouts tend to live large for the neighborhood, and homes here carry the light and volume that the building's loft-era origins allow. Floor, exposure, light, and the degree of renovation drive the differences between apartments; upper-floor homes and those with the best light and outlook sit at the top of the building's range. A ground-floor commercial space fronts Greenwich Street beneath the residences.
Building operations
644 Greenwich runs as an attended pre-war cooperative — a doorman, an elevator, and the day-to-day services of a small, well-managed building. The scale is intentional: with 39 apartments, this is a self-contained co-op that trades on character and location rather than a deep amenity roster. As a cooperative, purchases are subject to board review and the building's financing and residency policies, and the building maintains the standards expected of a West Village co-op. Ownership includes a proportional interest in the building's underlying commercial income, a common feature of pre-war co-ops with ground-floor retail.

Sales sourced from NYC Department of Finance recorded transfers (BBL 1-00603-0037) 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
This is a cooperative, so a purchase runs through a board package and interview, and the building maintains financing and residency policies typical of a West Village pre-war co-op. Buyers should plan for a primary-residence purchase and a standard board process. What you get in return is character and location — a loft-scaled pre-war home, an elevator and doorman, and one of Manhattan's most desirable low-rise neighborhoods at the relative value a co-op offers.
The most important on-site distinctions are floor, light, and renovation status: the pre-war bones reward every line, but the high-floor homes with strong light and quality renovations are the ones that hold value best. The location is central West Village, between Morton and Barrow, steps from Hudson River Park, the Christopher Street and Houston Street subway access, and the neighborhood's restaurants and shops. Comparable analysis belongs against the West Village's full-service and attended pre-war cooperatives.
What to know if you’re selling
Scarcity and location are the marketing core. A pre-war co-op of just 39 homes on a prime West Village blockfront is an easy story to tell, and the neighborhood's demand does real work in a sale.
Benchmark against West Village pre-war co-ops. With measured in-building turnover, positioning leans on the neighborhood's comparable cooperatives; floor, light, layout, and renovation status determine where a unit lands.
Light, volume, and renovation quality are the differentiators. High-floor homes with strong light and thoughtful renovations should anchor positioning; the loft-era proportions and the building's character are worth foregrounding.
Prepare the board package early. A clean, complete package and a well-qualified, primary-residence buyer move a co-op sale through the board efficiently — we manage that process end to end.
