Seen & Heard: Your Loft Could Be in the Bernie Madoff Movie

••• A kitten was found at Tribeca Park.

found kitten••• A friends keeps telling me that 443 Greenwich must be way behind schedule, and I always reply that these things take time—more time than you’d expect. But I walked by just now and peeked in several ground-floor spaces and boy, is it still raw in there….

443 Greenwich••• I hear the plans to convert the Lotus Salon on N. Moore to a Eufora salon/training center have been abandoned.

••• “Wizard of Lies,” the Bernie Madoff movie (which I doubt is “autobiographical”), is looking for a loft for a shoot on Oct. 1. Go on! Be a part of this enchanting story! It’s also filming in northwest Tribeca on Friday.

Wizard of Lies••• Other shoots…. We’re averaging 4-5 a week.

Design Within Reach had flyers up on Ericsson Place for a shoot last Tuesday and Wednesday.
“Broad City,” which the city allows to call itself “BCS” on flyers, is shooting around Laight/Varick on Friday.

••• Press release: “Governor Andrew M. Cuomo announced on 9/23/2015 the installation of the “Landfill” ‘Cool Globes exhibit in Battery Park City, which will run through November 20. The public art exhibition aims to raise awareness of and inspire exhibit viewers to take actions on climate change.”

Cool Globes••• Since we haven’t checked in on it a while: Here’s the interesting part of 56 Leonard, from the south and the north.

  1. That building still looks cookie cutter as hell. The renderings were far more attractive and dynamic than what has come to fruition…

    • The top part looks like the renderings , but the glass that has been installed is bluer than had been shown in illustrations. The glass had a an attractive grey/iron/silver hue in the renderings.

      • When the sky is blue (as in the pictures above), the windows will inevitably have a blue-ish tinge. I suspect when they sky is grey the “attractive grey/iron/silver hue” might become more apparent..

  2. They are still carting out demo from 443 Greenwich. They haven’t even finished demo yet, and they were talking about delivering apartments in 2015! Goodness, this could be years away.

  3. Amazing achievement.

  4. Maybe HBO should consider 153 Franklin Street, where Dominique Strauss-Kahn lived under luxurious house arrest.
