I don't see a building permit in the city's database, though -- anyone know what the plan is here?
That's a Bernie Nimer building - it was next on his list to renovate until the Mayfair demolition sidetracked things. I don't know if the renos are being done on spec or if there are particular lessees lined up.
Given how extensive the renos look, I suspect there is a tenant lined up -- it's too much to do without knowing what kind of a tenant you will end up with.
Is there a free way to find out the owner of a building online, or or does that require a (paid) land registry office search?
