••• The Seamen’s Church Institute is selling its building at 241 Water (that’s the one that looks like a ship on top). “Edward Midgley, a senior vice president of CB Richard Ellis who is assigned with selling the Water Street building, said its location near Wall Street and its manageable size would make it ideal for nearly any use, whether commercial offices, residential space or a luxurious combination of both. Mr. Midgley said he hoped the building would bring more than $13 million. As an example, Mr. Midgley said, he envisioned a hedge fund manager who wanted to live and work in the space and park a yacht at the nearby seaport, which catered to tourists and was also attracting pioneering new residents.” And when the revolution happens, we know where the hordes will go first.

••• New York Press profiles Lena Dunham, whose coming-soon film Tiny Furniture is super buzzy (and set in Tribeca): “Dunham had suggested it might be helpful for me to see the environment she works and lives in: her parents’ Tribeca apartment. It is a whited-out, minimalist space that evokes the sense of a Bavarian nanny who might scold you for using the wrong fork. Dunham’s artist parents— painter Caroll Dunham and photographer Laurie Simmons—both have works in MoMA’s collection.”
