Milwaukee Restaurateur Plans Retail Building at 277 Mott Street in NoLIta

Uncertainty over the future of the 421-a tax abatement is driving developers to focus on condos and commercial projects, because rentals are hard to finance without the tax break. Yesterday’s crop of filings brought yet another application for a small commercial building in Lower Manhattan. Milwaukee restaurateur and former Soho bar owner Karl Kopp filed plans for a seven-story retail project at 277 Mott Street, between Houston and Prince Streets in Nolita.

47 Prince Street

Two-Story, 4,570-Square-Foot Restaurant Complete At 47 Prince Street, NoLIta

Back March of 2014, plans for a two-story, 4,570-square-foot commercial building were revealed at 47 Prince Street, on the corner of Mulberry Street in NoLIta. Now, Bowery Boogie reports the building is complete and construction fencing around the structure has been disassembled. The 25-foot-tall building will boast 2,450 square feet of commercial space for a restaurant. In addition to the ground floor, the eventual restaurant will also operate on a mezzanine level (which reads as the building’s second story). The kitchen, as well as bathrooms and storage space, will be located in the cellar. Neil Bender, doing business as an anonymous LLC, is the developer and Richard Pierce’s Terjesen Associate Architects is the architect of record. Perviously, Gene Kaufman was the designer, although filings reveal he was replaced.

Six-Story, 36,000-Square-Foot Commercial Restoration Underway At 190 Bowery, NoLIta

In May of 2015, YIMBY reported that the Landmarks Preservation Commission approved RFR Realty’s planned commercial restoration of the landmarked Germania Bank Building, a six-story, 36,000-square-foot building at 190 Bowery, in NoLIta. Bowery Boogie now reports the restoration is well underway and crews have replaced the property’s windows. A new entrance is also being installed on the ground level and other alterations are now taking place. The building will eventually have a ground-floor retail space and the upper five floors will be leased as office space. Higgins Quasebarth & Partners and MdeAS Architects are behind the restoration design. Completion can probably be expected later this year.

City Envisions Seven-Story, 75-Unit Affordable Residential Building At 211 Elizabeth Street, NoLIta

Back in August of 2015, news broke that the city was moving forward with plans to develop affordable housing at the Elizabeth Street Garden, located at 211 Elizabeth Street (a.k.a. 21 Spring Street), in NoLIta. Now, Curbed NY reports the Department of Housing Preservation and Development is envisioning a seven-story, 60-to-75-unit residential building with retail space. The building would take up roughly 15,000 square feet on the 20,265 square-foot lot, and the units, which would be geared towards seniors, will average between 800 and 900 square feet apiece. The city plans to launch a Request for Proposals (RFP) in the spring and a developer will hopefully be selected by the end of the year. At that point, the project would require approval via the Uniform Land Use Review Procedure (ULURP). Construction is tentatively expected to begin in 2018 for completion in 2020.
