Situated in the heart of the West Village, 17 Jane evokes the texture and look of the neighborhood’s past while featuring contemporary details and modern conveniences. World-renowned architect Sir David Chipperfield, a winner of the coveted EU Prize for Contemporary Architecture – Mies van der Rohe Award, has built a reputation for helping cities define their evolving modern expressions. Together with Edward J. Minskoff, a longtime figure in the world of New York real estate development with an illustrious career developing over 37 million square feet of property in 10 cities around the country, Chipperfield conceived 17 Jane as a contemporary response to the surrounding nineteenth-century brownstones in this historic-landmark district. 17 Jane’s timeless facade of elongated Roman-style bricks fired by Petersen Tegl, a Danish brickmaker founded in 1791, expresses Chipperfield’s particular brand of dignified and detailed elegance realized through meticulous craftsmanship.
