142 E 16Th St

The Gramercy Spire is a midcentury, 22-story cooperative completed in 1964 with 59 residences ranging from studios to four-bedroom layouts. Its exterior reads as a utilitarian tower softened by planted courtyard and garden areas and private balconies for many units; several residences enjoy terraces or corner exposures. Interiors typically feature high ceilings, built-ins, breakfast bars, walk-in closets and updated kitchens in renovated units, while original finishes and generous storage remain common in other apartments. The building is full-service: a staffed 24-hour doorman, live-in superintendent, central laundry facilities, bicycle room, on-site garage parking (fee/availability), and private storage units support day-to-day living. Resident policies are cooperative-style: pets are permitted with approval, co-purchasing, pieds-à-terre and limited subletting are allowed under board rules, and financing up to typical co-op limits is offered. Located on Third Avenue between 15th and 16th Streets in the Gramercy/Union Square corridor, the property places residents a short walk from Gramercy Park, Union Square’s transit hub and market, multiple supermarkets, restaurants and neighborhood retail, creating a mix of residential calm with immediate urban convenience.
