GREENWICH VILLAGE, NY — A Community Board 2 meeting is set as the venue for the release of construction plans to demolish two 172-year-old Greenwich Village townhouses and replace them with a residential high-rise building.
The townhouses in question are located at 14 and 16 Fifth Avenue.
Plans to demolish the five-story, 20-unit buildings were first filed around January 2020 by Madison Realty Capital.

After an immediate pushback from the community, an initially released plan for the new building went from a 367-feet tall, 21-story construction project to a 19-story building project. However, the exact height and design will not be revealed until the Community Board 2 Landmarks Committee meeting on Tuesday, Feb. 16.
