142 E 16Th St

The Gramercy Spire is a 22-story full-service cooperative completed in 1964 and converted to co-op ownership in the late 1970s. The post‑war tower contains a mix of studios, one-, two- and larger multi-bedroom residences that often feature generous ceiling heights, large windows and flexible layouts—many units have been reconfigured over the years into convertible one- or two-bedroom plans. Interiors commonly include built‑in storage, walk‑in closets, pantry space and fitted features such as breakfast bars and dining alcoves; several listings highlight renovated kitchens and marble or specialty tile bathrooms. Shared building elements emphasize convenience: a staffed 24‑hour doorman lobby, live‑in superintendent, elevator service, central laundry facilities, bike room, rentable storage units and an on‑site garage. Outdoor and garden amenities extend from private balconies and terraces on higher‑floor end units to an internal courtyard/garden and additional private outdoor spaces. The co-op maintains a smoke‑free policy; pets are allowed with board approval and the house rules permit pieds‑à‑terre, co‑purchasing and limited subletting subject to board review. Located on the west side of Third Avenue between 15th and 16th Streets, the building sits within Gramercy Park’s residential fabric and is a short walk to Union Square transit, neighborhood groceries, dining and the farmers’ market.
