111 3Rd Ave

A 17-story midcentury condop completed in 1965, this full-service residential building mixes classic postwar massing with later lobby and courtyard renovations. Units range from studios and alcove/one-bedroom layouts up to three-bedroom plans, many featuring windowed kitchens, hardwood floors, plentiful built-in storage and modernized finishes such as granite counters and stainless appliances. Shared interiors emphasize everyday convenience: a 24/7 attended doorman, live-in superintendent, package room, central laundry and bike storage. The property’s communal footprint is unusually large for its scale — a landscaped interior courtyard with seating, a renovated half-court basketball area and a programmed BBQ corner create semi-private outdoor space framed by the building’s stepped form. Above, a planted roof terrace with deck chairs, bocce court and panoramic city views serves as a resident gathering place. Services and policies are buyer-friendly for a cooperative-style asset: pet approvals, pied-à-terre ownership, parental co-purchase options and liberal subletting after an initial residency period. Located at the confluence of Union Square, Gramercy and the East/Greenwich Village edges, the building offers immediate access to major subway lines, grocery options and the Union Square Greenmarket, situating residents in a dense, highly walkable urban neighborhood.
