NYU Gramercy Green Residence Hall (New York City, New York)

USA / New Jersey / West New York / New York City, New York / Third Avenue, 316
 university, dormitory, 2007_construction

21-story postmodern residential building completed in 2007. Designed by Perkins Eastman Architects. One of the newest NYU residence halls, Gramercy Green is also known as the nicest. The building was originally constructed as luxury condominiums by developer J.D. Carlisle for Irish investors, but was acquired before opening by NYU at a cost of $275mil, who needed new dorm space. This explains the unusually high level of features for a dormitory - including hardwood floors, stainless steel appliances and granite countertops. Gramercy Green houses 925 students. The building features one setback at the 16th floor; the ground floor is occupied by a Duane Reade drugstore and an HSBC Bank branch.
