GrayStreet Partners’ big dream for Houston Street that never materialized

January 20, 2022 By Richard Webner 55 Comments

The 300 block of East Houston Street includes the Vogue, Grant and Kress buildings.

In 2015, GrayStreet Partners announced it had purchased several iconic buildings on East Houston Street, and spoke of the corridor’s rebirth. Nearly seven years later, the local developer has been selling off its assets as it shifts focus, and capital, to other projects.

Pandemic derails GrayStreet Partner’s plans for Broadway East, delays W Hotel

February 7, 2021 By Richard Webner 9 Comments

This commercial building on Broadway across from the Pearl was to be part of GrayStreet Partners' Broadway East development.

GrayStreet’s Broadway East urban community derailed. W Hotel on hold. The Light building rehab lags behind schedule. That’s just GrayStreet’s projects on Broadway. The Covid pandemic has stymied many of the local developer’s downtown projects.
