Less than a year after changing hands, the historic townhouse at 9 Bleecker St., just west of the Bowery, is back on the market.\u00a0<\/p>\n

With 2,743 square feet of unused FAR (subject to Landmarks approval), the property offers substantial expansion potential. Create a spectacular single-family residence or maximize its mixed-use zoning with flagship retail or gallery space at street level and residential or office space above.\u00a0As we’ve reported<\/a>, an undisclosed buyer purchased the 1884 building last summer. Earlier this year,\u00a0 signage appeared on the facade, which became a near-constant canvas for flyers and ads, stating:\u00a0“I have an owner who loves me very much!” and “I’m a HISTORICAL building, NOT your CANVAS!”\u00a0<\/p>\n

The address has a storied history. Best known as the longtime home of the Yippies, the building served as the movement’s headquarters for more than four decades before its departure in 2014 following a lengthy legal battle.\u00a0<\/p>\n

More recently, it was home to Overthrow Boxing Club, which closed in late 2024<\/a> as the building was being marketed for sale.<\/p>\n

Past lives also include stints as a cigar factory and publishing house before becoming associated with New York’s activist and countercultural movements.\u00a0The townhouse next door at No. 7 recently sold for $6.2 million after four months on the market. (The transaction hasn’t hit public records yet.) No. 7 was the longtime home<\/a> of photographer Robert Frank and artist June Leaf. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"EVG photo from March 2025\u00a0 Less than a year after changing hands, the historic townhouse at 9 Bleecker…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":312836,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[6],"tags":[9,11,10],"class_list":["post-312835","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-new-york","tag-new-york","tag-new-york-headlines","tag-new-york-news"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/312835","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=312835"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/312835\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/312836"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=312835"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=312835"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=312835"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
