223 E 2nd St, New York, NY, 10009
About This Home
An East Village Original. Grandfathered Volume. 223 East 2nd Street rises seven stories above a block where current zoning no longer permits it. At 15,766 square feet — six open loft units, ground-floor commercial, and a basement — the building offers what architects and developers recognize on sight: original bones, loft-scale floor plates, and a façade that has no contemporary equivalent. Architectural Character • Seven-story masonry walk-up, built 1900 • Brick façade with ornate terracotta detailing — arched windows, decorative cornice, carved stonework • Original wrought iron balustrade staircase • Existing elevator shaft — infrastructure in place for future installation • Unobstructed flat rooftop with open Manhattan skyline views Composition • Total: 15,185 sq ft gross floor area • Residential: 13,260 sq ft across 6 units • Commercial: 1,925 sq ft at street level • Lot: 2,165 sq ft (24.75 ft × 88.25 ft) By Floor • Seventh Floor: Four open exposures, 10'4" ceilings — penthouse configuration • Sixth Floor: 10'9" ceilings • Fifth Floor: 10'8" ceilings • Floors 3–4: 9'10" ceilings • Second Floor: Private terrace 24'9" × 11'4" • Ground Floor Commercial: 10'2" ceilings • Full basement Designation & Structure • Building Class: C4 — Old Law Tenement • Tax Class: 2B • Zoning: Conv Ind/Com Residential • Year Built: 1900 Tenancy • Building is registered as an IMD — 1 unit covered, with 1 coverage application filed • Two tenants currently occupy two floors, and neither is paying rent • The building will be delivered vacant except for Units #3 and #4 • The Narrative Statement has been filed and amended (June 2025) Location East 2nd Street sits at the intersection of the East Village's creative legacy and its continued evolution. Flanked by independent galleries, chef-driven restaurants, and decades of cultural history, the address is steps from Tompkins Square Park and the density of the Lower East Side. This is a block that has never been generic — and a building that proves it.
