28 Liberty, the building above Fosun Plaza, has a bunch of new retail projects. Places kind of fly under the radar there, since the space is so big underground: Alamo Drafthouse Cinema, the 14-screen movie theater, is under there, along with Sing for Hope pianos and a couple sports facilities — and you would never know it from walking by. (Danny Meyer’s Union Square Hospitality Group’s Manhatta is on the 60th floor.)

Court 16, which opened there in 2023, just finished a 7,000-square-foot expansion, bringing the club to 17,000 square feet on lower level 1 and eight playing areas. There are two new USTA-sanctioned 44-foot courts, a Babolat pro shop, a lounge sponsored by Ligne Roset, permanent indoor pickleball courts and specialized courts for its Kids Tennis Academy.

Starbucks has opened a 1,356-square-foot location on the concourse level — one level below the plaza. It looks like a normal sized one — so a bit of a surprise given the Starbucks retraction in the neighborhood.

Madman Espresso has opened a 956-square-foot location, both on the ground floor. They were founded in the Garment District in 2012, now have seven locations around the city, and serve Caffe Vita — coffee roasters out of Seattle.

I have mentioned Socceroof here before — they opened early last year — but have yet to visit: it’s a 20,000-square-foot indoor soccer facility — in this case NOT on the roof, but underground on sub level 1, just above the Alamo. This is its fourth location in the city; they also have two in Montreal and one in New Rochelle. I will get over there to check it out.

Halo is a new a 24,400-square-foot event space that accommodates up to 750 guests. The entrance for that is via a downstairs staircase on Pine between William and Nassau, and is one of the few that is clearly marked.
