Gorgeous Gramercy Park Townhouse Fuses History with Modern Design

By Patty Lee

Turning a grand three-loft townhouse into a functional two-family home was no easy task for the architects at Fractal Construction. Built in 1848 and owned by the Isaly family, the Gramercy building was steeped in history and the many problems that come with old age. Not only did Fractal's Ulises Liceaga have to re-design the former triplex into two dwellings, he also had to replace the basics, like the electrical and plumbing systems. Liceaga added an entire new floor to make sure each family had enough space and gave each apartment open floor plans that connected the living room, kitchen and dining room.

NYC’s first major Roy Lichtenstein retrospective since 1993 now on view at the Whitney

By Devin Gannon

New York's first Roy Lichtenstein retrospective since 1993 opened at the Whitney Museum earlier this month, offering an up-close look at the Pop artist's most famous works. "Roy Lichtenstein: Like New" assembles 130 works created between the 1940s and 1990s and traces Lichtenstein's fascination with images and how they are perceived. The exhibition also spills to the outdoors, with a recreated 32-foot-tall version of "Girl in Window" visible from the High Line and a towering "Coups de Pinceau" sculpture on the fifth-floor terrace. In today's world of computer-created images, the exhibition celebrates the handmade nature of Lichtenstein's paintings and prints and examines how images are duplicated and circulated.

The Tribeca loft with an original Keith Haring mural is back on the market for $25M

By Michelle Cohen

This 8,000-square-foot loft at 260 West Broadway catches the eye of art lovers whenever it surfaces for sale. The apartment's entry features an immediately recognizable wall mural by the late artist Keith Haring, drawn circa 1979 when Haring was a student at the School of Visual Arts (SVA). The mural was rediscovered during a renovation in 2007, as 6sqft previously reported. The condo has been renovated again, this time by Sottile and Company and Debono Brothers, but the mural, of course, remains. Last listed in 2021 for $8 million and sold for $6.5 million, the massive triplex is now asking $25 million.

A historic LES synagogue, now an artist’s studio, asks $10.95M

By Michelle Cohen

Within what was once a well-known synagogue at 80 Forsyth Street on Manhattan's Lower East Side, the magnetism of this impossible-to-define property goes beyond its rich public history. The three-story space can be used as a live/work studio, gallery, or museum, with many more creative options due to the block's flexible zoning. Recently featured in the New York Times, the building is currently the studio of artist Dana Barnes, a former fashion designer known for creating large-scale fiber sculptures and wall hangings. Charmed by the space and its history, she and her husband, Dale Westhoff, purchased it in 2013 for $6.4 million. Asking $10.95 million, the 6,800-square-foot building's scale and architectural details require no embellishment beyond what meets the eye.

NYC extends pied-à-terre tax deadline again amid lawsuit

By Aaron Ginsburg

New York City has once again extended the deadline for homeowners notified they may be subject to the new pied-à-terre surcharge, giving them nearly three additional weeks to apply for an exemption. A Tuesday court filing shows that the Department of Finance (DOF) has moved the deadline from September 18 to October 6, after previously pushing it back four weeks from its original August 21 deadline earlier this month. The extension comes as legal proceedings continue over a lawsuit filed by a coalition of property owners challenging the rollout of the surcharge. After a Staten Island Supreme Court judge granted a temporary restraining order to pause the surcharge, the city appealed the decision, which stayed the order while a higher court reviews the matter.

By Aaron Ginsburg

New York City has given homeowners who received notices that they may be subject to the new pied-à-terre surcharge an extra four weeks to apply for exemptions, following criticism over the rollout of the notices. Mayor Zohran Mamdani and Department of Finance (DOF) Commissioner Richard Lee on Saturday announced the deadline extension, which gives eligible property owners until September 18 to submit exemption applications for surcharges on their non-primary residences. The city began notifying eligible property owners late last month, and the rollout came under heavy criticism from some homeowners who said they received notices despite not qualifying for the new tax.

NYC begins notifying pied-à-terre owners about new tax

By Aaron Ginsburg

New York City has begun alerting pied-à-terre owners about a potential surcharge, marking the first step toward implementing the city's new tax on non-primary luxury homes. Mayor Zohran Mamdani and Department of Finance (DOF) Commissioner Richard Lee last week announced that the city has started notifying property owners by mail that they may be subject to the new tax. The annual tax, approved in May, applies to one- to three-family homes valued at $5 million or more and condominiums and co-ops valued at $1 million and above, whose owners maintain a separate primary residence. The rollout has come under heavy criticism, with some homeowners claiming they received notices despite not qualifying for the new tax.
