173 and 176 Perry Street are a pair of apartment towers by architect Richard Meier in Manhattan's West Village, at West Street. Designed in 1999-2002 by Richard Meier & Partners, they are the first new construction undertaken by Meier in Manhattan, although they stand a short walk away from his 1970 renovation of the Westbeth Artists Community.[1]
New York Times reporter Penelope Green referred to Meier's paired towers as "beauty queens".[2] The third building in the assemblage, 165 Charles Street, to the south of the original two, was completed in 2004 and was also designed by Meier.
