About this property

20 University Place was built in 1965 — roughly 61 years old. For property-tax purposes it falls under Class 2 (residential buildings with four or more units, condos and co-ops), taxed at 12.439% of a taxable value based on 45% of the city’s income-derived market value. At the current assessment that works out to about $6,729,825 per year ($560,819/month) before any abatements or exemptions the owner may receive. City records show it last changed hands for $3,725,000 in Jun 2026.

City landmark records describe it as an apartment building dating to 1965, originally used as residential, multi-family. It stands within the Greenwich Village Historic District.

The building already exceeds what current zoning would allow (10.37 built FAR vs. a maximum of 6.50) — typically a grandfathered or overbuilt structure that could not be rebuilt to this size under today’s rules. This lot is associated with a co-op; individual apartments are owned as shares and taxed through the building.
