Noho Food Market relocating as another Bowery corner awaits development

The future of the NW corner of the Bowery and Great Jones continues to take shape. 

The Noho Food Market has closed ahead of a move to the storefront to the north...

As previously reported, Lonicera Partners has assembled a development site here. 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 at 56 Great Jones St. 

Here's a view of the proposed development looking to the north ...

And how it would look from across the street... as you can see, the current buildings at 348, 350, and 352 Bowery would be demolished (there aren't any demolition permits on file with the Department of Buildings).

There are two versions of the new building — one with a cantilevered extension to the north and 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.

Last month, Community Board 2 denied the application as an "unwelcome intrusion into a landmark district from a building in a 'carve out' portion of the district that has admittedly made no effort to be harmonious with the district."

In January, five of six commissioners of the Landmark Preservation Commission voted in favor of the cantilevering version. However, as Village Preservation explained, a minimum of six commissioners is required for a majority vote. This item will return to a future LPC docket.

The Bowery Market closed on the corner last October. The boutique CÔTE À COAST at No. 350 shut down in January ahead of a relocation. 

The all-new 56 Great Jones St. will 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.
