Property Description for 79 Eldridge Street

The subject property is a vacant parcel located on the west side of Eldridge Street, between Hester Street and Grand Street. The lot size is approximately 25.3’ x 100.25’ with a total lot coverage of 2,530 square feet. The property is in a C6-1G zone with an FAR of 6.00 for commercial use, 3.44 for residential use and 6.50 for community facility use. The highest and best use would be commercial development or a mixed-use building which would result in a development of approximately 15,180 BSF. It is important to note that subject benefits exclusively from a curb cut in front of the property. Curb cuts in Manhattan, especially lower Manhattan, are rare and often very difficult to acquire from the City of New York. Furthermore, vacant lots with development potential in the Lower East Side are equally rare. The subject is neighbors with the future The Milton Resnick and Pat Passlof Foundation at 87 Eldridge Street in addition to HSBC, Bowery CrossFit, Valley National Bank, Bank of America, TD Bank and the B & D subway stop.

Chinatown | Manhattan

Quick Profile

The roots of Chinatown are said to go back as far as 1858, with the arrival of Cantonese businessman, Ah Ken. Ah Ken made his fortune selling cigars and is thought to have set up the first boarding houses for Chinese immigrants.

Vibrant and bustling, in New York City’s Chinatown, you’ll find the biggest population of Chinese people in the Western Hemisphere. Although Chinatown was established mostly by Cantonese speakers, due to an influx of Fuzhounese speaking Chinese immigrants and Mandarin being the official language of China and Taiwan, Mandarin has become vital to the dynamic tableau that is Chinatown.

Centered around Chatham Square and Columbia Park, Chinatown is transportive yet quintessential New York. Traveling the cozy corridors of Chinatown, bask in the varied languages and cultural diaspora, uniquely American and yet universal. Witness the roots of a place where a community was allowed to grow within a community, a world within a world. See it in the statues, architecture, and signage throughout Chinatown. Smell it seeping out from the multitude of dim sum restaurants, noodle houses, and speakeasies that reside here. Pick up a bao and wander the markets for deals and explore the sometimes brutal historic sites. 

Chinatown is developing. Much of the lower-income housing once available in the area are being refurbished and sold. As a result, the community and its demographic makeup are diversifying.
