151-foot, 17-story red brick residential building completed in 1964. Designed by Horace Ginsbern & Associates, it features a facade with five bays of chamfered corners facing Fourth Avenue, providing numerous corner windows. Farther south, the west facade is set back, and has three bays of non-chamfered tripartite windows (with a south-facing bay in the sidewall connecting these sections), and then an angled corner bay facing southwest. The building's main entrance is set in a projecting 1-story section in front of the set-back wing, clad in black stone, with glass doors and chamfered windows.

The north facade on 14th Street has six wide bays of six windows each, and three single-window bays at the west end. The south elevation rising above the 2-story south wing has three single-windows and a double-window, and to the east is a set-back section with two tripartite window bays. The main east-facing elevation has a wide bay and two tripartite window bays.

The building contains 210 rental apartments, as well as the NYU School of Continuing and Professional Studies, and numerous retail tenants. Of these, the most prominent is the Walgreens at the base of the main tower (there is also the Cafe Amore's Pizza restaurant). A 2-story wing extends south along Fourth Avenue that houses the other street-level businesses, and there is an entrance ramp to the underground parking garage at the end of this wing, on East 13th Street. Retail tenants include Le Cafe Coffee, Cava restaurant, I Smoke & Vape convenience store, Xi'an Famous Foods, Dos Toros Taqueria, Unregular Pizza, and Love Mi Yogurt in the 2-story south wing, with NYC Gifts & Convenience, and a Wells Fargo Bank branch in the ground floor of the main tower.
