    In 1930 the Greenwich Street Corporation built a four-story garage at 738 to 742 Greenwich Street, at the corner of Perry Street, to designs by George G. Miller. Broad steel casement windows run throughout, and the base is painted white to set it apart from the upper floors. The carefully arranged lettering of its signs was meant to give a plain, utilitarian building a dignified look.

    West Village Houses sells its Greenwich Street garage for $64 million

    In May 2022 the West Village Houses co-op closed the sale of the parking garage at 738-742 Greenwich Street for $64 million. The garage had been kept to serve the co-op's housing, which was once required to provide its own off-street parking. About 78 percent of shareholders voted to approve the sale, whose proceeds were meant to pay for a $17.5 million, ten-year program of capital repairs.

    A developer turns the garage at 738 Greenwich Street into seven residences

    Donnchadh Malone of Alf Naman Development, who bought the garage from the West Village Houses co-op in 2022, planned to convert it into seven large residences in a 79-foot-tall building. The plan restores the front brick facade, alters the ground-floor openings and carves out a 30-foot rear yard. By early 2024 three of the units were under contract, at $55 million, $32 million and $22 million, with completion estimated for 2026.
