Building: 17 Jane Street

Situated in the heart of the West Village, 17 Jane evokes the texture and look of the neighborhood’s past while featuring contemporary details and modern conveniences. World-renowned architect Sir David Chipperfield, a winner of the coveted EU Prize for Contemporary Architecture – Mies van der Rohe Award, has built a reputation for helping cities define their evolving modern expressions. Together with Edward J. Minskoff, a longtime figure in the world of New York real estate development with an illustrious career developing over 37 million square feet of property in 10 cities around the country, Chipperfield conceived 17 Jane as a contemporary response to the surrounding nineteenth-century brownstones in this historic-landmark district. 17 Jane’s timeless facade of elongated Roman-style bricks fired by Petersen Tegl, a Danish brickmaker founded in 1791, expresses Chipperfield’s particular brand of dignified and detailed elegance realized through meticulous craftsmanship.

Within 17 Jane, each residence is entirely distinct, including its orientation within the building. Throughout, high ceilings and large windows ensure an abundance of natural light. The palette of materials includes white wide-plank oak flooring, marble slabs and handcrafted stonework.

The kitchens are by Smallbone of Devizes, a British company of master craftsmen turning out bespoke fitted cabinetry with refined architectural detailing. Clean, artfully calibrated lines are punctuated with custom-fabricated sinks, Churchill soapstone counters, Dornbracht fixtures and Gaggenau appliances for spaces beautiful enough to entertain in.

Spacious bathrooms are lined with marble slabs and either hand-chopped stone or luxurious white oak flooring. They feature Dornbracht fixtures; custom vanities and medicine cabinets; and Boffi Sabbia Monobloc, Porcelanosa and Waterworks bathtubs.

Amenities include a 24/7 attended lobby featuring a 10-foot bronze Jeff Koons sculpture, Corks (Couple), full-time superintendent, resident-only private parking garage (at additional cost), fitness center with sauna, and ample storage facilities. 17 Jane both reflects its West Village residential heritage and is situated within a short distance of Washington Square Park and Hudson River Park as well as the world-class shopping, dining, recreation and culture found in the Meatpacking District, SoHo, Chelsea and Hudson Yards.
