Building Description
This property on Wooster Street features two distinct duplex spaces, each offering a unique opportunity in the heart of SoHo.
The prime retail duplex on the lower levels is designed for high-impact retail, showrooms, or pop-up events. The main level boasts polished hardwood floors, white and wood interiors, recessed lighting, built-in display shelving, and a mezzanine-style counter space, creating a seamless and inviting layout. The lower level complements this with sleek marble flooring, a modern open layout, and a distinctive circular entryway that adds character. Thoughtfully designed display alcoves and open floor space allow for flexible merchandising and event configurations. This location has hosted multiple high-profile pop-ups and is in close proximity to key Fashion Week venues, making it ideal for brands looking to maximize exposure. The duplex is leased as a whole, with both levels functioning cohesively.
Above, the penthouse duplex gallery offers a dynamic and unique space that will inspire creativity. With two floors, the lower level is bright and airy, while the contemporary mezzanine overlooks the space, creating an expansive and open feel. Polished grey floors, spotlights, and white walls add a minimalist touch, making this venue a blank canvas perfect for creative brands, artists, and designers.
Ceilings soar up to 20 feet high, providing a grand setting ideal for art exhibitions, private showrooms, or luxury retail activations. The penthouse duplex is available for lease directly from the owner, with brokers protected and eligible for full commission. A one-year prepaid lease with a copublicity discount is available, along with long-term options for three years or more. All reasonable offers will be considered.
Creative History
In the 1970s and 1980s, 76 Wooster was a quiet fixture in the downtown scene, serving as a regular gathering place for artists closely tied to SoHo’s rise as a global center for contemporary art. Andy Warhol was known to use the space as a personal retreat, and it became part of the informal social circuit frequented by Jean-Michel Basquiat, Keith Haring, and Julian Schnabel. Its role as a creative meeting point gave it a lasting place in the memory of that era.
Historical Overview
Originally built as a residence, the building was redesigned in 1871 by developer M. and S. Sternberger with architect Henry Fernbach and served a mix of commercial and light industrial uses over the next century. By the early 1980s, the former stable and workshop space was transformed into Wings, a restaurant known for its soft pink neon interior and downtown clientele. It was later home to Grace Jones’s La Vie en Rose, a minimalist space decorated with a single Warhol portrait. In 1998 it hosted an AIDS benefit for the Irvington Institute, and in 2011, Yoko Ono staged a tribute to John Lennon with an exhibition of his drawings and lyrics titled “Gimme Some Truth.” The building’s layered history captures the full arc of SoHo’s transformation from working-class industry to cultural landmark.
