A reader shared this with us from yesterday's Post … a full-page ad for 190 Bowery, the historic Germania Bank Building on the corner of Spring Street.
Aby Rosen of RFR Realty purchased the six-story, 72-room, 37,000-square-foot building from photographer Jay Maisel for a recently reported $55 million. (Maisel bought the property in 1966 for $102,000.)
RFR is currently marketing the building's first and second floors for retail use. Maybe something that might appeal to Post readers.
190 Bowery was designated a New York City landmark on March 29, 2005. As for the rest of the building, no word just yet what might happen to the upper floors. Condos? Hotel?

How about a bowling alley? Oh, that's right, no one buys a building for $55 million and puts in a bowling alley, unless it's a private bowling alley that never, ever gets used.

According to the good ole Inflation Calculator it's about $740,000.
No more hotels, please!
ReplyDeleteThe Bloomberg inflation calculator puts that number at $55 million.
ReplyDeleteI think Shelter, 108, Mouthpiece & Bad Trip played there in the 90s.
ReplyDeleteI guess the graffiti will be erased, too bad . There is a Sacer tag from Dash Snow still on an upper spot, side wall.
