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.

The Townhouses:
At the southeast corner of the site, five all-new townhouses are currently under construction. Each 5-story townhouse measures 27.5 feet wide and features up to six bedrooms. Other notable features include a full floor master suite on the third floor, a fire place in the master bedroom and living room, a private garden, and foldable glass wall in the living room.
