Together, these spaces occupy 2,360± of prime ground floor retail space. The LES is rich with history and for most of the 20th Century, the LES was the first stop for immigrants looking for affordable accommodations in tenements. Over the past 20 years, the neighborhood has seen widespread gentrification, with new rental and condo developments, hip bars and restaurants, chic hotels, independent boutiques and art galleries. Part of the LES charm and attraction has been its ability to maintain it s edge, and hang on to its vibrant past with its old-school eateries, retro businesses, and preserved public spaces. As the LES continues to develop, 245 Eldridge Street is well positioned to take advantage of the continued high demand for this neighborhood, the increasing market rents, and the opportunity for an investor to reposition the building and capture the significant upside potential.

58 LOCATION OVERVIEW Lower East Side The Lower East Side, aka LES, is a neighborhood in the southeastern part of the New York City borough of Manhattan, bounded by the Bowery to the west, East Houston Street to the north, the F.D.R. Drive to the east and Canal Street to the south. The western boundary below Grand Street veers east off of the Bowery to approximately Essex Street. The neighborhood is bordered in the south and west by Chinatown which extends north to roughly Grand Street, in the west by NoLita and in the north by the East Village. The narrow streets of the Lower East Side were once lined with tenement buildings, shirt factories and bialy shops. Although a few vestiges of the neighborhood's immigrant heritage remain, many of the tenement buildings have been updated and now offer relatively affordable rental options to young New Yorkers looking to live right in the thick of Downtown Manhattan. There's no getting around it - the LES is a major nightlife destination. In this part of the city, last call is late and often negotiable -- especially if you're a regular. On weekend nights, the neighborhood is packed as crowds overflow from the local bars and take to the streets in search of a late-night falafel fix before heading onto the next venue. During the day, the neighborhood chills out as residents nurse their hangovers or head to work slowly after stopping at one of the area's many trendy juice bars or coffee shops. Housing stock in the LES is primarily comprised of tenement-style apartment buildings. As such, the properties tend to be walk-ups with unique layouts. Prices for these types of units were once on par with their quality, but the neighborhood has grown increasingly expensive. Although artsy pop-up shops and galleries now fill the storefronts, the LES was once predominantly a neighborhood of immigrants with many businesses catering to these residents. The Lower East Side has a street style all its own, embracing anything bold, original and unorthodox. The LES is full of surprises and incongruities. Trendy sandwich shops stand next to traditional cobblers and hosieries and there are several historic shops still open on Orchard Street. Although it's always a busy neighborhood, the LES really comes to life after the sun goes down when young people pour in from all over the city.

60 LOWER EAST SIDE A forward-thinking neighborhood with historic roots. In the nineteenth and early twentieth century, the Lower East Side was known as a hub for European immigrants, as well as the center of Jewish life in New York City. Long-time residents, downtown pioneers, and members of New York s creative communities. While the shops, bars, and restaurants change every few years, many of the neighbors on the Lower East Side have stayed the same. These long-time residents are loyal to the area and help to foster a sense of camaraderie and community across the neighborhood. A few vestiges of vintage LES still remain, namely the Tenement Museum, Streit s Matzos Factory, Katz s Deli and Russ & Daughters. The Lower East Side is also filled with downtown pioneers - New Yorkers who moved to the neighborhood before it experienced a surge of popularity in the late 1990s and early 2000s. The creative and expressive energy in LES has also made it a favorite for many in New York s creative and artistic communities. Some of the best nightlife, dining, and entertainment in Manhattan. In large part due to a booming bar and club scene, the Lower East Side is a great choice for Manhattanites who want to have the nightlife scene right outside their doorstep. The unpretentious, no-frills attitude of the Lower East Side draws people from all walks of life, contributing to the neighborhood s unique and eclectic identity. Lounge during the day, dine at dusk, and party all night. During the day, the Lower East Side is relatively quiet. It s a perfect time to explore the many shops and boutiques hidden in pockets across the neighborhood. A pathway along the East River is a scenic option for walking, biking, and even fishing. From here, you can access great views of the Williamsburg Bridge. At dusk, the mood quickly picks up with activities that act as a prelude to late-night events. The LES is also known for its art scene, with smaller, contemporary galleries sprinkled across the neighborhood.

61 LOWER EAST SIDE Another staple of the entertainment scene in LES is live music. The neighborhood has been a powerhouse for rock, punk, folk, and rap for decades, and bars like Cake Shop, Pianos, and the Living Room host new, up-and-coming bands daily. You ll also have no trouble indulging in your culinary curiosity in this neighborhood. Trendy restaurants like Beauty and Essex are popular for pre-clubbing meals, and smaller spots like Ivan Ramen, Mission Cantina, or Dirty French are so popular they inspire hours-long waits. Perhaps the most defining part of the neighborhood s reputation is the nightlife scene, which draws partiers from across the boroughs. The neighborhood has a good mix of options that range from massive clubs to hole-in-the-wall dive bars. The free-spirit tradition of this diverse, welcoming community. Even though the Lower East Side is synonymous with the party scene, those who live in the neighborhood love it for its wellworn, homely touches of community. In the Lower East Side, it s the small, personal touches that make this neighborhood a vibrant and exciting place to live. Conclusion As gentrification continues to improve this part of Lower Manhattan and more families make the Lower East Side their home, the many schools and opportunities for education play a more significant role in attracting tenancy to the area. While maintaining some of its roots as a collection of several neighborhoods inhabited and defined by different ethnic groups, the Lower East Side is in the midst of a full transformation into a more culturally diverse community, populated by people from all socio-economic backgrounds and all walks of life. 245 Eldridge Street is extremely well positioned to take full advantage of this transformation as the units are eventually reconfigured in the future and avail themselves to the higher values of increased market rents in the area. 245 Eldridge Street, New York NY

67 ZONING OVERVIEW

68 C4-4A ZONING C4 districts are mapped in regional commercial centers, such as Flushing in Queens and the Hub in the Bronx, that are located outside of the central business districts. In these areas, specialty and department stores, theaters and other commercial and office uses serve a larger region and generate more traffic than neighborhood shopping areas. Use Groups 5, 6, 8, 9, 10 and 12, which include most retail establishments, are permitted in C4 districts. Uses that would interrupt the desired continuous retail frontage, such as home maintenance and repair service stores listed in Use Group 7, are not allowed. C4 districts with an A, D or X suffix are contextual districts in which the commercial and residential bulk and density regulations can differ from corresponding non-contextual districts. Some districts have the same commercial and residential floor area ratios (FAR) as shown in the table, but may differ in parking requirements. Floor area may be increased with a public plaza or Inclusionary Housing Program bonus. C4-1 districts are mapped in outlying areas, such as the Staten Island Mall, that require large amounts of parking. C4-2 through C4-5 districts are mapped in more densely built areas, such as Steinway Street in Astoria (C4-2A), Fordham Road (C4-4), and parts of Jamaica (C4-5X). C4-6 and C4-7 districts are mapped in densely built areas in Manhattan, including most of Broadway on the Upper West Side (C4-6A) and portions of central Harlem (C4-7). *Note: Data taken from NYC Department of City Planning. 245 Eldridge Street
