Investment Insights

Based on property information with market context.

This fully renovated mixed-use building features both retail and residential components, completed in 2016. The ground floor is fully leased, with Two Birds operating as a bar and ice cream shop and Velvet Tower as a vintage clothing store. Two Birds is expanding into an adjacent retail space, adding flexibility to the existing retail footprint. The second floor includes three residential units, sized from 720 to 1,106 square feet, currently operated as short-term rentals. A wrap-around terrace and community space connects the buildings and provides additional usable outdoor area.

Located a block from neighborhood landmarks Sister Pie and Marrow, the property sits in a commercially established and desirable West Village setting. This balance of retail frontage below and rental operations above supports an efficient mixed-use ownership profile.

For buyers seeking an owner-operator or investment opportunity, the combination of fully leased ground-floor tenants and short-term rental income above offers multiple revenue streams within the same asset. The recently renovated condition, plus the connected terrace space and the ongoing retail expansion by Two Birds, can appeal to investors looking for a property that is already positioned for active, income-focused operation.
