The East Village is down 2 Chase branches

[Photo montage from like August]

As we noted back in August, the Chase branch on Avenue A at East Second Street and the location on Second Avenue at St. Mark's Place would close after business on Nov. 12.

So, uh, being Nov. 13, those branches are now closed...

According to Chase, the branch at 130 Second Ave. will consolidate with the location two blocks to the north at No. 156 while the Avenue A outlet will merge with the branch at 106 Delancey.

The Chase at 156 Second Ave. recently renovated the lobby, adding new ATMs and decorative lighting...

The asking rent on the Second Avenue Chase space is $72,000 a month, per the Icon Realty listing. The rent is available upon request for the Avenue A storefront.

Chase branch on 2nd Avenue at St. Mark's Place has the potential to get 4x larger with new owner

A few weeks back we noted that the Chase branch at 130 Second Ave. was closing for good after Nov. 12. The retail space has been on the market, with an asking price of $72,000 a month, per the listing.

Turns out the whole building was for sale. As the Commercial Observer first reported yesterday, J.P. Morgan Chase sold the 2-level space to Stellar Management for $12 million.

And this corner of Second Avenue at St. Mark's Place looks to be growing one of these days. Per the Observer:

The site allows for redevelopment of the 2,380-square-foot site into a mixed-use retail and residential project of 9,520 square feet.

Stellar Management owns and operates residential and commercial real estate in NYC. Per the Stellar website: "The company focuses on real estate acquisitions, development and property management. Stellar’s portfolio contains over 12,000 apartments in 100 buildings in New York City and Miami."

The company doesn't appear to own any buildings in the East Village (well, until now). Updated: A reader reminded us that Stellar teamed up with Icon Realty to buy 128 Second Ave. next door.

The Chase branch at 130 Second Ave. will consolidate with the location two blocks to the north at No. 156.
