••• “A 19,000-square-foot retail space in [140 Franklin, at Varick] is available for lease for the first time in almost half a century. The space […] was previously used as an office [for electrical supply company Argo International] but will soon be converted to a retail condominium. […] Once completed, the space could house multiple tenants, [Manhattes Group’s] Jamison Weiner said—one occupying the Varick Street side of the space and one or two tenants fronting on Franklin Street. The asking rent for the ground floor corner space will be $110 a foot, while the side street and lower-level space will ask $90 per foot and $30 per foot respectively. The property has already drawn interest from a bank, eying the corner space, and a local Tribeca retailer, who looked at some of the side-street square-footage.” Just one bank? Why not two? Or three! —The Real Deal

On Monday, it officially begins the public review process, as the City Planning Commission is expected to certify Trinity’s in-hourse rezoning proposal.” —New York Observer

••• Eater put Jungsik on its Deathwatch list: “You can get a reservation on OpenTable for any time you want, no problem. The restaurant is only open for dinner six days a week, and there’s no lunch business, whatsoever. Perhaps Jung Sik will get a bump after the Michelin Guide drops, but right now, it’s the biggest, best new fine-dining restaurants that nobody’s going to.”
