First Look Inside 220 East 9th: East Village’s First “Power Building
For years, “power building” cachet lived almost exclusively in the West Village; 220 East 9th shifts that center of gravity east with a tightly curated, 18-residence condominium that marries privacy (including discreet on-site parking) with loft-inspired architecture. It reads like the East Village’s grown-up moment—sophisticated without shedding grit—and signals that boutique scale, scarcity, and craftsmanship are redefining downtown luxury east of Third Avenue.
Design and details
Behind a classic red-brick façade, residences are laid out as truly individual floor plans with industrial-chic cues—oversize factory-style windows, board-formed concrete accents, custom oak kitchens, and select private terraces. The aesthetic is quiet luxury over spectacle: tactile materials, edited palettes, and proportions that favor livability instead of amenity sprawl. With only 18 homes, the promise is seclusion, character, and a sense of address that feels intentionally East Village.
Team and positioning
The project is designed and developed by Arcus, known for crafted, boutique-scale work, with sales led by Compass’s Hudson Advisory Team (Clayton Orrigo, Stephen Ferrara and Ian Lefkowitz). That pairing telegraphs a focus on discretion, limited inventory, and precise storytelling—hallmarks of true “power building” status. Expect a launch that emphasizes privacy, materiality, and the rarity of on-site parking below 14th Street.
