Aby Rosen's RFR Realty owns the the historic Germania Bank Building at Spring Street, and his crews are renovating the space for new tenants, including a creative fashion entity called Great Bowery.
Rosen bought the landmarked building from photographer Jay Maisel for a reported $55 million in 2014.
We'll update when more information is known...

Social media reports say that the fire is contained to the roof...

So now we know it really is *the* hot place to live on the Bowery.
I hope this fire was put out quick. That building is amazing.
The footage looked pretty bad on the news this morning, but there was no word about damage. Anyone know? And why does something like this have to burn instead of oh, I don't know, the Death Star?
Well that's one way to get rid of the building so that Marriott can put up a new hotel. Just like the old East Village, burn baby burn.
Minimal damage to the roof and some water damage
All is ok and the Building is fine
No one was hurt adn all employees will go back to work on Wednesday
There's no conspiracy
I sell you my building and in less than a year you almost burn it down?
