137 Perry Street

A stand-alone one-story commercial building of about 3,600 square feet, with a mezzanine office set behind a multi-panel sliding glass wall. Tax records date the building to 1946. The main room runs open under 18 foot ceilings and four skylights, and a glass garage door rolls straight up to the street over its own curb cut.

The space is currently configured as a contemporary gallery: white walls, an uninterrupted floor, and daylight from above, a shape that adapts as easily to a flagship, a studio, or a showroom.

Perry Street between Greenwich and Washington is one of the West Village blocks that kept its cobblestones. A freestanding single-story building with its own frontage and curb cut is among the rarest commercial shapes in Manhattan, and this one sits three blocks from the Hudson in the middle of the neighborhood’s townhouse streets.
