The article has the listing as 101 warren but the store is on 97 warren could they be mistaken? maybe another part of the building is for sale or maybe to just the site is for sale. Crazy news either way haven’t heard anything internally and I work at a nyc Barnes and Noble,
Maybe we should have seen this coming, but I didn’t want to face it: Newmark has a listing for the Barnes & Noble space nearly 40,000 square feet at 270 Greenwich, aka 101 Warren.
Bummer.
The listing calls it a “unique big box opportunity in the heart of TriBeCa,” which is certainly is. The chain has six stores left in the city; the Upper East Side location closed in summer 2020.
I’ve come to think of Barnes & Noble as mom-and-pop, now that Amazon has taken over the world. But it wasn’t so long ago that B&N was the bad guy, ki----g the independent bookstore in “You’ve Got Mail” style. At least we still have one treasure: The Mysterious Bookshop.
Of course the listing does not come with a closing date, and I doubt I will get one out of Barnes & Noble corporate, but I will try. The store opened there in 2007, and since then there have been other rumors of closures, though perhaps not as solid as this one.
