Judge Building

The Judge Building has about 149,000 square feet of floor area in total, including 135,000 square feet of office and 14,000 square feet of retail, according to NYC PLUTO 26v2. These are the city's estimates for the whole building, not space that is available.

The Landmarks Preservation Commission's building records date the Judge Building to 1888-1890, designed by McKim, Mead & White (architect), Michael Reid (builder). The building is 11 floors tall.

McKim, Mead & White (architect), Michael Reid (builder), according to the Landmarks Preservation Commission's building records, which list the style as Arcaded Renaissance Revival and its original use as offices and manufacturing.

The Judge Building is at 110 Fifth Avenue in Union Square, Manhattan. City records list 110-112 Fifth Avenue and 1 West 16th Street on the same tax lot (BBL 1008180041). A space listed on Leasemark at any of these addresses shows up on this page.

110 Fifth Avenue is in ZIP code 10011, according to the city's tax lot records (NYC PLUTO 26v2) and the Department of Finance's assessment roll. The Judge Building is at 110 Fifth Avenue, New York, NY 10011, in Union Square.

The lot is in the C6-4M zoning district. PLUTO lists a built floor area ratio (FAR) of 10.25 and a maximum commercial FAR of 10 for this lot. It is inside the Ladies' Mile Historic District, so exterior changes go through the Landmarks Preservation Commission.

The closest subway station to the Judge Building is 14 St (the 1, 2, 3, F, M and L trains, connected to 6 Av), about 950 feet away in a straight line, roughly 4 minutes on foot. The MTA lists it as an accessible station. Also nearby: 14 St-Union Sq (the 4, 5, 6, L, N, Q, R and W trains), 4 min walk; 23 St (the R and W trains), 6 min walk.

The NYC Department of Finance's 2026/27 assessment roll lists 110 FIFTH REALTY CORP. as the owner of record of the Judge Building (BBL 1008180041). Deeds and mortgages for the lot are public in ACRIS, the city's property records system.

Leasemark does not have the building's tenant roster, but SEC filings name companies with offices at the Judge Building. One public company reports the address as its principal executive office: COMPASS, INC. (COMP). One investment manager files 13F holdings reports from the address: SurgoCap Partners LP. Private companies do not file with the SEC, so the full list of tenants is longer, and a company can also report a building it owns.

The Judge Building reported an ENERGY STAR score of 95 for calendar year 2024 in its Local Law 84 benchmarking filing. Under Local Law 33, as amended by Local Law 95 of 2019, a score of 85 or higher earns an A, 70 to 84 a B, 55 to 69 a C and under 55 a D, so 95 earns an A. The Department of Buildings assigns the grade a building posts, so the posted label can differ if a filing was corrected. Its site energy use came to 37.4 kBtu per square foot, less than half the national median of 99.1 for a similar property. Its greenhouse gas emissions were about 559 metric tons of CO2e (3.16 kg per square foot).

At its 2024 energy use, the Judge Building comes to about 457 metric tons of CO2e a year under Local Law 97's coefficients, against a limit of 1,341 tons for 2024 to 2029 (34% of the limit), so it would owe no penalty. From 2030 the limit drops to 476 tons and the same energy use counts as about 315 tons, still under the limit. This is an estimate from the owner's 2024 benchmarking filing using the coefficients and per-use limits in the law and the Department of Buildings rule, at $268 per ton over. It is not the building's Local Law 97 report, which can count credits and deductions this estimate cannot.

In the 12 months to October 2026, the Department of Buildings issued first permits for 5 jobs at the Judge Building. In the last two years, interior work was permitted on 5 floors (floors 2 and 5 to 8). The newest build-out, on floor 8, was first permitted in November 2025 (construction, mechanical, plumbing, sprinklers; filed cost estimate $2.9 million). These are the Department of Buildings' DOB NOW work permits for tax lot 1008180041. A permit is approval to do the work; it does not say who the work is for or whether it is finished.

The Department of Finance's 2026/27 assessment roll lists a taxable value of $40.4 million for the Judge Building. At the Class 4 rate of 10.848% (tax year 2025/26, the latest rate the Department of Finance lists), that is about $4.38 million a year, roughly $29.39 per square foot of floor area, before abatements such as ICAP. The city's property tax records for BBL 1008180041 show the actual bill.

For tax year 2026/27, the NYC Department of Finance puts the market value of the Judge Building at $91 million ($12 million of it land) and its assessed value at $41 million, the 45% of market value the city assesses for Class 4 property.
