History of Tribeca Buildings
An update on the Matera buildings
With the sale of 1 and 5 Lispenard, the home of Nancy Whiskey, and office evictions in several buildings in the neighborhood, I thought I better check quick on the properties owned by Peter Matera, who died last September.
Matera, whose family acquired close to a dozen buildings in the neighborhood in the 1970s through the ’90s, was 61 when he died; he lived at the time in Point Pleasant Beach, New Jersey. His parents, John and Margaret, built their portfolio here over decades while living at 5 Lispenard; some of the deeds go back far enough to name the families who owned the land before the streets were cut — like the estate of Anthony Lispenard.
From what I’ve been told, one buyer bought most of the Matera buildings — thought it’s hard to see that in the city records. And the plan is to flip them one by one. Here’s the list — comment if I am missing something:
321-325 Church at Lispenard
Saluggi’s, Westside Coffeeshop, barber shop
The LLC that purchased the property in June is calling it 33 Lispenard.
Sold for $6.5 million
The plan in 2019 was to build a seven-story building on the site.
96-100 Franklin Street | now 100 Franklin
Sold in 2014
325 Greenwich Street at Duane | Cafe Clementine building
Sold in 2019
249-253 West Broadway | 17-23 Avenue of the Americas | 1-5 Walker
Tribeca Pharmacy, Tribeca Park Deli, Another Room & offices
No action yet in city records
1 and 5 Lispenard at Sixth Avenue
Nancy Whiskey Pub, which has been on the corner with West Broadway since 1967; plus the printer a couple doors down
The two buildings were sold in June for $7.9 million
Number 3 sits between the two and seems to have no immediate action — Tataki Japanese is on the ground floor. It is owned by Leonard Hecht, who acquired it in the 1990s along with 237 West Broadway, aka 2 White — the sweet landmark on the corner that is now Todd Snyder at the Liquor Store.
4-6 White Street | 239 West Broadway
The L-shaped building that wraps around the historic 2 White and includes Eulalie on West Broadway
Purchased in 1979 by John Matera; no action yet in city records
53-61 Sixth Avenue | One York
One York was built in 2008.

You will be missed!
Oh no! It’s closing?
Link to city records referenced?
ACRIS, search for John Matera.
I meant in the article, for readers here :-)
When does Nancy Whiskey officially close?
I’m hearing next week
Who’s your source?
Nancy’s is closing?
Not necessarily yet — but they do have a GoFundMe going right now to deal with legal bills and rent increases…
Please share here – thanks!

“The plans is to flip them one by one”
Who said this? The buyer/new landlord?
Flipping from commercial to commercial? Residential?
Context and details matter!
Great staff and so many memories here – please share the close date so we can swing by for one last round
Next week Francine – hope to see ya there
Leo from the barber shop mentioned he has to be out by end of the year, so Im guessing they will start with church/lispenard first. RIP westside
My heart will break if Nancy goes.
