 <title>Where&#039;s The Beef?</title>
 <link>http://www.observer.com/node/34566</link>
 <description><![CDATA[<!--paging_filter--><div class="photoCaption" /><img alt="rkf.jpg" src="http://therealestate.observer.com/rkf.jpg" width="240" height="310" /><br />Now, fashionista friendly.</div /> Remember<a href="http://therealestate.observer.com/2006/02/western-beef-moves-north.html"> Western Beef</a>? Well, after they moved out of 401 West 14th Street, the building was given a makeover. Of course, with fashion retailers like Stella McCartney, Diane von Furstenberg, Carlos Miele, Puma and Scoop in the neighborhood you have to look your best. 

<p>Now, Taconic Investment Partners has purchased the 60,000-square-foot development in the Meatpacking District, and has some big plans, according to a release.</p>

<blockquote>Taconic has received approval from the New York City Landmarks Preservation Commission for a complete renovation of the property, including a new 8,000-square-foot penthouse, which will also have approximately 4,000 square feet of terrace space.  Taconic has hired architects Cook + Fox to manage this restoration. </blockquote>

<p>Not surprisingly, Robert K. Futterman--who recently bought <a href="http://www.observer.com/20060403/20060403_Michael_Calderone_finance_manhattantransfers.asp">his own pied-a-terre</a> nearby--was hired as the building's retail leasing agent.</p>

And speaking of retail space in the Meatpacking District, the <em>New York Times</em> has <a href="http://travel2.nytimes.com/2006/04/12/realestate/commercial/12block.html?adxnnl=1&adxnnlx=1144854379-v/vmEN2WcOUeXGk09wZGcg">plenty more today </a>on the subject.
