The Greenwich Lane
Construction progresses at the Greenwich Lane, the five building and five townhouse development from the Rudin Management and the Ofer family's Global Holdings, Inc. The development is located on the site of the old St. Vincent's Hospital in Greenwich Village. FXFOWLE has led the design of the project, blending converted former hospital buildings with a new tower and townhouses. At the center of the development, a courtyard provides shared open space for each building's inhabitants. Across the street, the new West Village Park, funded by the developers, prepares for its opening.
A significant amount of the exterior envelope work has completed on the new tower at 155 West Eleventh Street, with brick cladding complete and only a few windows left to install. Construction scaffolding has been removed from the remaining existing buildings, with only the townhouses left shrouded as brick façade installation proceeds.

Topping out is imminent at The Greenwich Lane development, with superstructure reaching the final floor of 155 West Eleventh Street. The 17-story, 82-unit tower is the tallest of the five building and five townhouse development in Greenwich Village on the site of the former St. Vincent's Hospital. Four of the hospital's former buildings are currently being converted into condo units as part of the development. Since the last update in December, the five townhouses on West 11th Street have started to rise above the construction fence. The entire development should reach completion by 2016.

The Greenwich Lane
A few weeks ago I was given a tour of the massive Greenwich Lane development in the West Village. The five building, five townhouse development designed by FXFOWLE occupies the the former site of St. Vincent's Hospital, with four buildings reusing the hospital's previous structures. Each building will have its own unique identity courtesy of interior designer Thomas O'Brien. For a more in depth look at the interior design, see Curbed's extensive tour of the sales gallery.

155 West 11th Street - The Greenwich Lane
Construction is in full swing at the West Village's mega development The Greenwich Lane, from the development team of The Rudin Family and Global Holdings with architects FXFOWLE and interiors by Thomas O'Brien. The project comprises 200 residential units amongst five buildings and five townhouses spanning half a block, between 11th and 12th Streets along Seventh Avenue, with a central courtyard. Formerly the site of St. Vincent's Hospital until its closing in 2010, the site was sold to the current developers in 2011 and demolition commenced in 2012.
The structure and northern façades of the 3 midrise buildings along the site's northern boundary, 140-160 West 12th Street, have been preserved and are currently undergoing renovation. Construction of new brick walls at the southern, courtyard-facing facade is underway, including window installation.
Structure has reached the third floor at the tallest building on site, 155 West 11th Street, a completely new 17-story tower at the corner of 7th Avenue and West 11th Street.
Full completion of the entire project should come in 2016.
