In the News: Glass box approved for 13 Harrison

GLASS ADDITION APPROVED FOR 13 HARRISON
YIMBY reports that the Landmarks Commission approved the glass addition for 13 Harrison, which is located within the Tribeca West Historic District and thus required a certificate of appropriateness. “The four-story building was originally constructed in 1887 and features a charming arched entryway, metal framing at the ground floor and a red brick façade at the second through fourth floors. In its current condition, the structure contains a small retail component on the ground floor with 11,800 square feet of residential area on the levels above. The latter component includes a four-bedroom, four-bathroom apartment and a six-bedroom, six-bathroom unit with private rooftop access.”

COMPASS CHIEF PUTS MONEY WHERE MOUTH IS
The Real Deal reports that Compass CEO Robert Reffkin bought a $16 million penthouse in what G. figured out is 415 Greenwich — the Summit warehouse building — in June. “The pad is located in a limestone-and-brick building on Greenwich Street. The property — built in 1911 and originally home to tea, soap and candy manufacturers — was converted to 62 condos in 2005. Reffkin’s duplex penthouse spans 4,500 square feet and has 2,200 square feet of outdoor space. The unit has four bedrooms and 4.5 baths, with white oak floors, atrium windows and skylights accented with blackened steel, according to the listing. The terrace has two levels and an outdoor kitchen.”

WALL STREET WAIT-AND-SEE
The Post doesn’t miss a chance to jab at the mayor in an opinion piece that notes that most downtown workers aren’t coming back any time soon: “The new (unofficial) timetable being adopted by the likes of Goldman Sachs, JPMorgan, etc., won’t generate the national headlines of the DC riots, or the president’s inexcusable behavior egging them on. But the delays will have consequences — all negative — for the city’s finances, for people who hold debt in New York and for anyone who cares about the quality of life in this once-great city.”
