“We’re opening a new space on White Street,” emailed R & Company co-founder Zesty Meyers. “Would you like to come see it?” You don’t have to ask me something like that twice….
R & Company, which features historical and contemporary design at 82 Franklin (where it has been since 2000), is opening a second location in Tribeca, in 64 White. That’s one of the three 1869 buildings recently renovated in grand style by the Sorgente Group; 60 and 62 White have been converted to residential, while 64 remained commercial. Knowing a good thing when they see it, Meyers and his business partner, Evan Snyderman, bought the three-level space (the round floor and the two below), which they’re hoping to have it ready by late winter. I got a hard-hat tour, and all I can say at this point is that it’s going to be spectacular. (And yes, they’re keeping the Franklin Street location.)
Happy to hear this, though I’ve never quite worked out the business model of that place…
