80 Clarkson: What the Offering Plan Says About Finishes, the Club and Fees

Updated · 7 min read

80 Clarkson is a 113-home West Village condo whose offering plan spells out far more than the listings do. Here is what it says about the finishes, the members' club, the staff, the parking, storage and wine cellar licenses, the retail unit and the first-year budget.

In brief: 80 Clarkson is a 113-apartment West Village condo where most of the amenities sit in a private club inside the building that every owner automatically joins. The offering plan specifies Gaggenau kitchens, Dornbracht and Toto baths and an all-electric building with no gas, staffed by a union team. It also sells parking, storage and wine cellars as licenses rather than deeds, and it requires every owner to spend at least $2,000 a year at the private restaurant.

What's Specific to It

80 Clarkson is a large new condominium at 80 Clarkson Street in the West Village, with 113 residential units spread across a West Tower and a South Tower. Its offering plan was accepted in February 2025.

The offering plan the developer filed with the state tells you what listings don't: which appliances go in which kitchens, who owns the pool, what the staff costs and why your parking space is a license, not a deed.

Amenities: A Private Club Inside the Building

Most of the amenities sit in a separate Club Unit spread over the cellar and the first three floors. The plan expects the condo board to own it on behalf of the residential owners. Every apartment owner is automatically a club member, and the base membership fee is built into your common charges.

Good to know: an outside operator, with its own staff, is expected to run the club under a deal of at least five years, opening no later than two years after the first closing. Spa treatments and classes may cost extra. By law the club must also admit at least one non-owner member, who needs an owner's referral and board approval. The sponsor doesn't guarantee the club or restaurant will run as described.

Tip: the board can set terrace rules such as head limits, no glassware and a chaperone for anyone under 18. Compare in NYC condo amenities by building size.

Staffing and Services

The sponsor's budget plans for:

Staff are expected to be union (Local 32BJ rates). Payroll comes to about $3.4 million, roughly a quarter of the budget, and the full team may not be hired until occupancy builds. See what a doorman costs a NYC condo.

What It Costs to Run

The sponsor projects about $13.5 million in costs for 2027. Residential common charges cover about $11.6 million; license fees, restaurant income and small retail and 550 Parking Unit shares cover the rest. Your share follows your unit's common interest. See common charge benchmarks to compare.

Budget lineFirst year
Staff wages, taxes and benefitsabout $3.4 million
Electricityabout $1.9 million
Club Unit expensesabout $1.7 million
Heat and hot water (steam)about $1.5 million
Insuranceabout $1.1 million
Private restaurantabout $1.1 million

Good to know: each regular apartment owner must spend at least $2,000 a year at the private restaurant, billed as an extra common charge and use-it-or-lose-it. The sponsor covers first-year restaurant losses up to about $1.08 million; after that, they're a residential expense.

Also note: no sponsor reserve fund, two months of common charges to working capital at closing, and a warning that taxes may rise once the building is assessed as finished. See why NYC condo operating costs differ and operating expense benchmarks.

Fine Print Worth Knowing

Parking, Storage and Wine Cellars Are Licenses

You don't get a deed to a parking space, storage locker or wine cellar. You buy a license for exclusive use while you own an apartment, and the sponsor keeps the proceeds. The wine cellars sit inside the Club Unit.

More: sold vs. licensed vs. leased condo parking.

The Retail Unit

The first-floor Retail Unit will initially stay with the sponsor or an affiliate. Permitted uses are broad, and the plan warns of possible noise, traffic or odors that owners and the board won't control. Owners get no share of its rent.

Who's Behind It

Common Questions

Does 80 Clarkson have a pool?

Yes. According to the offering plan, the Club Unit's third floor has a swimming pool with hot and cold plunge pools, though the sponsor doesn't guarantee how the club will be run.

Can I buy a deeded parking space at 80 Clarkson?

No. Parking spaces, storage lockers and wine cellars are sold as licenses tied to apartment ownership with monthly fees.

Are there costs beyond common charges?

Yes: a $2,000 yearly minimum at the private restaurant, any license fees for parking, storage or a wine cellar, extra-fee club services, your share of the resident manager's apartment at closing, and two months of common charges to the working capital fund.

Who manages the building?

The plan names Brown Harris Stevens Residential Management as managing agent, with a live-in resident manager; an outside operator is expected to run the club.
