105–107 Bank Street

RoundSquare Builders acquires two separate, century-old walkup buildings at 105 and 107 Bank Street — where John Lennon and Yoko Ono once lived at No. 105 and composer John Cage at No. 107 — for a combined $18 million across the two purchases.

After securing Landmarks Preservation Commission approval to alter the Greenwich Village Historic District properties, RoundSquare rebuilds and combines the two walkups into a single 40-foot-wide, six-story, 13,000-square-foot townhouse designed by Robert A.M. Stern Architects, incorporating a restored cast-iron spiral staircase salvaged from the original Lennon apartment.

Matthew Lesser of Leslie J. Garfield & Co. lists the completed townhouse at $75 million, or $5,769 per square foot, positioning it to challenge the downtown Manhattan townhouse record.

The property enters contract at over $70 million and subsequently sells, with the Commercial Observer later describing the transaction as closing at $70 million and calling it the most expensive townhouse sale in New York City in 2026 to date and the second-highest downtown Manhattan townhouse sale ever, achieved off-market. The buyer’s identity and representation are not disclosed in the sources reviewed.
