You Can Save the Kniting Factory

Are you all torn up over the closing of the Knitting Factory on Leonard Street? Now that both it and the Wetlands are long gone, do you want to fill the gaping hole in Tribeca's music loving heart? Great news! You can take over the Knitting Factory lease and have your own 3 story nightclub. YAY! YAY! We're going to get a nightclub! YAY! Here are the particulars:

  • 6,000 SF Ground Floor
  • 1,000 SF Mezzanine
  • 6,000 SF Lower Level
  • 4,000 SF Sub-Basement

Spread out over the 3 levels, that's 17,000 feet of space. It also comes pre-approved with 3 cabaret licenses, meaning your customers won't just have to stand like statues through the night. We are sure they will appreciate that.

Now here's the rub . . .

The owner is asking $40 PSF with a 5% annual increase, meaning your going to have like $1 trillion dollars a month in fixed costs. Oh, and your neighbors won't like you and the music business is a disaster. But, did we mention it's a 3 story venue with a history worth it's weight in gold? We did? Oh.

If you are interested, you can contact Don Steven Kamali, the grand poo bah of hospitality real estate.
