As reported in June, Neil Hershman, CEO of the frozen-yogurt chain, purchased the four-story building for $4.5 million. The property is expected to house the relocated East Village shop.
The longtime 16 Handles outpost at 153 Second Ave. closed in January after the operators couldn't reach a lease-renewal agreement with the new landlord. That location, which debuted in 2008, was the first 16 Handles.
The storefront at 105 Second Ave. had been vacant in recent years following a succession of bank branches. The building once housed part of the Fillmore East and, later, The Saint.
No word yet on an opening date.
