Located in historic Greenwich Village in Manhattan and bordered by 8th and Greenwich Avenues to the west and southwest, One Jackson Square is a 35-unit luxury residential development with a street level retail component that responds in dramatic fashion to its celebrated locale.

The building occupies an irregular site in the West Village as a result of the area’s diagonal street grid and falls within the Greenwich Village Historic District. The goal for KPF’s design is to enhance the architectural diversity of the neighbourhood and to mediate between the predominantly low-rise area and the taller buildings to the north, also taking into account the zoning laws. The design, which incorporates 65,600 sq ft, therefore steps down from 11 storeys at the northern end, to seven at the southern.
