History and construction
The complex was built by The Related Companies, a New York-based developer. The set of buildings are named for, and on the site of, the former Superior Ink Factory, which was built in 1919. The demolition of the Superior Ink Factory was controversial, and opposed by preservationists and residents of the community. The original architect chosen by Related, Charles Gwathmey, was eventually replaced with Robert A. M. Stern. Gwathmey previously designed the Astor Place Tower for Related, a building that received negative reviews and poor sales.
The building was one of Related's first to be built with a distributed antenna system to boost cell phone reception for its tenants. The building was flooded and damaged during Hurricane Sandy.
Design
The development is split between a condominium and a group of nine town houses. The complex reflects the design of factories located near the original Superior Ink factory. Arthur Lublow, writing for the New York Times, criticized the town houses, as they are not similar to other town houses in Greenwich Village, instead resembling those on the Upper East Side, with heavy ornamentation.
Celebrity residents
Celebrities who have lived in the building include Anne M. Mulcahy and Hilary Swank.
