After unveiling plans for a rooftop nightclub at the 14th Street Triangle, London-based club venue operator Caprice Holdings<\/a><\/b> has bought the property for $100 million, according to property records made public Tuesday.<\/p>\n

Robert Cayre<\/b>\u2019s Aurora Capital Associates<\/a><\/b> sold the five-story building at 675 Hudson Street<\/b> to Caprice, which plans to alter the 19th-century property \u2014 if the New York City Landmarks Preservation Commission <\/b>(LPC) signs off on the work \u2014 and turn it into the New York location for a private club known in London as Annabel\u2019s<\/b>.<\/p>\n

The buyer\u2019s address on the deed in property records is tied to Caprice, which is a sister brand of Annabel\u2019s. Both brands were previously under British businessman Richard Caring<\/strong>\u2018s hospitality empire, but were acquired<\/a> by Abu Dhabi-based firm DIAFA<\/strong> earlier this year.<\/p>\n

Caprice secured $165 million in financing from HSBC<\/b> for its new purchase, according to property records. Aurora first acquired the Meatpacking District property in a 2023 bargain sale for $50 million, a deed transfer indicates.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s unclear who brokered the sale. Aurora and Caprice did not immediately respond to requests for comment.<\/p>\n

A previous LPC hearing saw the agency officials express reservations about the rooftop addition to the landmarked Hudson Street property, stating that the proposed curved glass structure designed by BKSK Architects<\/a><\/b> did not match the character of the building.<\/p>\n

Comments in the margins of the latest presentation<\/a> to the LPC recommend that the new owners\u00a0 \u201cimprove design relationship between rooftop addition and underlying historic building,\u201d and a \u201ccurvilinear form of rooftop addition is fighting geometry of historic building; scale should be reduced.\u201d<\/p>\n

675 Hudson is also known as the Herring Building<\/b>. Construction first began in 1849 with further additions throughout the next half century, and it originally served as a factory making masonry supplies.<\/p>\n
