THE PLAN

195 broadway
03
With 36-foot-tall windows on the ground floor, the space enjoys awesome natural light, said Mr. Schmerzler. Ceiling heights decrease to 17 feet on Level A, but due to the lack of landmark restrictions on the lower level, tenants will have a greater opportunity to utilize the space to their specifications. Due to landmark restrictions, display options are limited for potential retail tenants, and clear glass is not permitted. What a retailer is allowed to do, Mr. Schmerzler noted, is hang signs behind the glass, but not in contact with the glass, and theyre also allowed to do ground-floor window displays like any normal retailer. One of the challenges inherent in the space is the number of columns throughout the floor. However, that fact has not put off potential tenants. Were having discussions with apparel retailers who are so enamored with the grandeur of the place that theyre going to figure out a way to design around the ground-floor columns, Mr. Schmerzler noted.

Completed in 1923, 195 Broadway served as the headquarters for American Telephone and Telegraph and Western Union, and it currently boasts Thomson Reuters as a major tenant. Acquired by L&L Holdings in 2005, the Financial District property has been repositioned to capitalize on retail opportunities on the ground floor. Marketed by Cushman & Wakefield, the majestic space will be divided for up to three tenants, including a restaurant, with whom brokers are now in discussions with to open an upscale eatery with access to a 30th floor rooftop deck. Located across from the Fulton Street transit hub, 195 Broadways retail space is ideally suited for apparel and jewelry retailers. Alan Schmerzler, executive director at C&W, spoke with The Commercial Observer last week about the buildings unique challenges and potential opportunities. 01
One component of the plan is configured to accommodate a fine dining restaurant fronting Fulton Street that will feature two dedicated elevators to incorporate rooftop dining.

Due to the design of the space, the staircase could be grand and a centerpiece of the ground level, said Mr. Schmerzler. Our hope is that whatever design a retailer tries to incorporate here will be in keeping with the incredible nature of the space. Its likely a restaurant tenant will be required to use Level A for both kitchen and private dining due to the presence of asbestos on Level B (not pictured). Its got asbestos, and its just too expensive to abate it, Mr. Schmerzler said, noting the inclusion of black iron venting on Level B. Theyll be able to tap into [it] from Level A.

The narrow section between the restaurant and the retail space, known as the galleria, is designed to accommodate office tenants. The purpose of the galleria is to allow for tenants who reside in the office tower above that are approaching the building from the north not to have to walk around the building from the outside, Mr. Schmerzler said.
