As previously reported (first by PincusCo), Lonicera Partners was assembling a potential development site at this northwest corner. Lonicera signed a contract to purchase 348 Bowery, the former Bowery Market and mechanic's garage, and took a minority stake in 350 and 352 Bowery, the two adjacent properties to the north.
There are now new permits on file for a 25-story residential building, including inclusive housing, at the corner under the address 56 Great Jones St.
Here's a view of the proposed development looking to the north ...
There are two versions of the new building — one with a cantilevered extension to the north, the other without it.
As Village Preservation explained, 56 Great Jones St. is outside the bounds of any landmarked district. However, the cantilevering portion over part of an adjacent building within the NoHo Historic District Extension at 354 Bowery requires landmark approval.
The non-cantilver version would feature 94 total residential units, including 27 MIH apartments. The cantiliver edition would have three more MIH units, for a total of 30.
There will be a series of public meetings, starting tomorrow evening at 5:30, before the Community Board 2 Landmarks Committee. (Find meeting details here. You can attend via Zoom.)
The all-new 56 Great Jones St. would join the 22-story office building on the SW corner of Bowery and Fourth Street on the block. No. 360 will house one tenant: the NYC-based Chobani, LLC, a food and beverage company initially known for its Greek yogurt.

Yay for housing!
Well, that’s a lot of housing! So good it’s big and residential and not office.
Just great. More glass and steel. I'd be more enthusiastic if I had any notion that many of us will be able to afford to live there.
Great that is all the neighborhood needs another large ugly building to go with the other one on the corner to block out the sun and be totally out of place with the unique architecture of the other older buildings in the area.
So ugly and out of place with the neighborhood. We all know how expensive this new housing will be.
Block out the sun... Dog you live in Manhattan. If you're afraid of buildings move upstate.
This is great. Excited to have more housing and more neighbors.
affordable for whom??? -- another bland, uninspired design - & contextually inappropriate......as has become the unfortunate norm
Agree with above m at 10:46 . Affordable? Laughable. Another massive box without any architectural integrity that lends nothing to the neighborhood. Name one of the recent developments that does anything to be part the community, works with local nonprofits, or even as basic as having a garden area out front much less a bench or two.
Mandatory green roof and terrace PLEASE
