When this hit the Curbed tipline few days back—"the scaffolding on 40 Bond came down this morning, could be time for a curbed 40 bond update"—we had little choice but to dispatch operatives. And lo, for the first time, we're treated to a full curbside view of Ian Schrager's Noho factory of wonders? sidewalk trees, graffiti gates, and all. And our tipster adds this intriguing bit of intel: "apparently one diehard broker has already moved in (maybe to start dueling the rat colony)." Way to stay ahead of the game, anonymous broker hero!
Note the hinge in the center of each gate for individual tenant access.
Without being overly effusive, we should note that this is our favorite new Manhattan development in forever.
