There's a new listing for 171 First Ave., the 5-story building between 10th Street and 11th Street. 

Here are the details via Avison Young: 

171 First Avenue, the only cast-iron property in the East Village, spans 10,674 gross square feet and consists of five total units across five stories. The ground floor space (and lower level) is occupied by Momofuku Noodle Bar, which is owned and operated by notorious restaurateur David Chang. There are four FM loft-style residential units across floors 2-5. 

Asking price: $10.59 million. 

Chang opened Noodle Bar here in 2004.

In 2019, a Miami real-estate investor bought both 169 and 171 First Ave. for $14 million, per the Post.

Momofuku Noodle Bar closes for a month-long renovation

Momofuku Noodle Bar closed after service on Sunday evening at 171 First Ave. between 10th Street and 11th Street.

Management announced last week that this flagship outpost in David Chang's empire would be closing for a month-long renovation.

Yesterday, workers were spotted outside the restaurant, hauling out tables, chairs, etc. ... (thanks to Choresh Wald for these photos)...

The Noodle Bar — Chang's debut restaurant — first opened at 163 First Ave. in 2004 before moving a few storefronts away to this space several years later.
