City To Review Plans For Sleek 7-Story West Village Apartment Building

WEST VILLAGE, NY – A seven-story building proposed for the corner of Hudson and Charles streets in the West Village must get the go-ahead from the Landmarks Preservation Commission before it can be built.

Morris Adjmi Architects unveiled plans to transform the lots at 540-44 Hudson St. into a 26-unit apartment building with 5,600 square feet of retail space and a 552-square foot community space.

The planned building’s “undulating shape and red brick cornice are a contemporary take of the West Village’s architecture,” Curbed said.

Curbed reported that the Landmarks Preservation Commission will consider Morris Adjmi’s plans on July 25.

The design falls under the commission’s purview since the address is in the Greenwich Village Historic District. You can find Morris Adjmi's 46-page proposal here.

A 1927 gas station that appears no longer to be in use is currently at 540 Hudson St. The other lots have a four-story townhouse and “two dilapidated low-rise structures,” according to YIMBY.

Other projects by Morris Adjmi’s include 408 Greenwich St., a nine-story apartment building that the New York Times described as “full of echoes of the industrial past of TriBeCa.
