Building: 41 University Place

29- 31 East 9th Street, a three-building Co-op, is one of Greenwich Village’s most elegant and sought after prewar buildings.

29, 35, and 45 East 9th Street were designed in 1925 by architect Harvey Wiley Corbett of Helme & Corbett Architects; which was one of the three firms hired to design The Rockefeller Center. Harvey W. Corbett, who also designed the iconic Co-op at 1 Fifth Avenue, lectured at the Columbia School of Architecture from 1907 to late 1930’s.

29-45 East 9th Street’s façade elegantly displays a series of double-height windows, many with rounded Juliet balconies. The well-groomed garden enhances the classic style of the building. The buildings offer three to six rooms layouts. Many of the units are duplexes with working fireplaces and 18’ barrel-vault ceilings with glamorous coffering. Each building offers a separate lobby, full-time doorman, two elevator banks, a laundry room, private storage units, and a planted rooftop deck. Pied-a-terre, washers and dryers, and pets are allowed with board approval (case-by-case). The financing allowed is 65%.
