Here we thought 40 Bond Street was one of the greatest building of the past generation. (Maybe that’s not saying much, since this is New York.) But this riotous video from Curbed shows that opinions are far less uniform than the lofty windows on the Herzog & de Meuron-designed, Ian Schrager-built condo project in Noho.

Sometimes it feels like a more apt name for this publication is The New York Obsessive, because in some capacities, particularly who is buying and selling what outrageous apartments, that is precisely how we behave. To bring you all the moves fit to print, it takes a certain dedication to the city’s public records database, which we comb ruthlessly every day. Every hour. Every minute. Sometimes a gem crosses our compute screen, not necessarily noteworthy as much as notable/amusing. This is one of those cases. Read More
Soho and Noho has become one of those places “real” New Yorkers loathe to visit, like Times Square and Canal Street.

Once upon a time, the quaint cobblestone lane of Bond Street in Noho was the epicenter of the city’s condo boom. From 25 to 40 to 54 Bond, lofts new and old were built and sold out, a crush of cast iron and starchitecture. But when the market crashed, it left the street with a Read More
Another penthouse on boffo Bond Street is gone.
In 2007, Adam Gordon bought the old Bouwerie Lane Theatre, that beautiful white cast-iron building at the corner of Bond and the Bowery, and reinvented it as a condo. Then, last month, The Observer broke the news that three of its four homes had been sold, and only the Read More
Dear Sarah Jessica Parker,
All of us at the real estate desk just wanted to write and apologize once again for breaking the news that you and Mr. Broderick were buying a luxurious eight-bedroom duplex at 88 Central Park West.
We are not so vain as to think that our little news item–and the Read More
Like most buildings in the neighborhood, this Romanesque Revival building in Noho was built in the 1890s for commercial purposes but has since been converted into a coop full of gorgeous lofts. In the fifth floor unit, listed for $2.8 million at Stribling, the charming details of post-industry — cast iron columns, exposed wood beams — Read More
You know a neighborhood’s no longer bohemian when a group of neighborhood business owners holds a conclave at a marketing company’s offices to consider how to better market the area’s “restaurants, architecture or Bohemian feel.”
Noho, the “neighborhood” in question, is doing just that, according to an article in Wednesday’s Wall Street Journal:

Noho landlord Franmar was on the lookout for a hip young fashion tenant to fill its storefront gap at 648 Broadway in a neighborhood stocked with Urban Outfitters, Atrium Men’s and upscale fashion retailers. But in September 2008, it was becoming clear that the stars were aligning for, at the very least, an unpredictable economic Read More
