Ukrainian Sports Club ready to go retail on Second Avenue

The Ukrainian Sports Club on 122 Second Avenue between Seventh Street and St. Mark's is now on the market for $26,500 a month.


Per the Streeteasy listing:

RETAIL ONLY! St. Marks Place/ Second Avenue!!! 1st time on market in over 35 years! Unique retail opportunity. Prime Retail Location! Extremely high traffic corridor! Neighbors include: Chase Bank, WAMU, Stomp Theatre, Pommes Frittes, Cohen Optical. 20’ frontage on the Avenue. Two levels plus basement available. Ground Fl. 3,150 sf 11’ ceilings $80/sf. 2nd Fl. 2200 sf 11’ ceilings $40/sf. Basement Level 1000 sf 11’ ceilings

This is a huge space... meaning that something as unique as the Ukrainian Sports Club will likely become a chain store...


Also, as you may recall, a fire broke out on the upper floors here back in June. And from NY Songlines: La Mama Experimental Theater Company was here until 1969.

    Different building, you're thinking of the Ukrainian National Home at 140 Second Avenue.

    I had my wedding reception in the back room there, it's a fabulous space.

    Sad. The neighborhood is losing another bit of its East European character.

    Let's hope a "good neighbor" at least moves in to the building, and not another vile chain restaurant or store.

    I am happy they are going out business. The way they treat their customer is awful.
    Also they don’t pay their fair share of sale tax. Shame! Shame! Shame!

    The neighbors don't include WAMU, since they were eaten by Chase. Don't know if the realtors are being lazy or what Maybe they're trying to be sleazy but failing because they're too stupid?
