••• Because everyone always asks whether Fairway Market is still on for 255 Greenwich (at Murray), especially since the October report that the company was looking to pull out, I tried asking Fairway (no response), its PR reps (no response), and landlord Jack Resnick & Sons (“We have no comment at this time on this matter”). Although it ain’t over till it’s over, I think we have to assume it’s not happening.

••• After commenter James posted the DOB paperwork for the conversion of 396 Broadway (southeast corner of Broadway, and a beaut), I hoped he’d clarify what they mean. From what I can tell, the building is being converted into condos and a hotel, but instead of the condos being on the upper floors, the building appears to be getting split into eastern and western halves. If there’s some other way to read it—I’ve included it below—please let me know!

••• TKM commented that while L’Atelier de Joël Robuchon is indeed on the second floor of Brookfield Place, above P.J. Clarke’s, it “will have a casual coffee and bake shop scheduled for ground level beyond P.J. Clarke’s on the corner with a few cafe tables outside for seating.”

••• Colonnade Group tweeted that it’s finally going to get started on 403 Greenwich, the empty lot next to Kaffe 1668 North. The rendering I have for it (below) has been around for a while, but I don’t think the design has changed. UPDATE: It is indeed the current design.

••• I still think 56 Leonard is going to end up 85% disappointing, but I have to admit this photo is striking (the construction netting gives the Jenga flavor that we all thought we were getting more of). It’s by Jesse DeStasio.
