One door
of two
167 Mott Street, west side, between Broome and Grand. Two small shopfronts under a seven-storey walk-up. One is a candle studio open till ten every night. The other is on the market. Every building here is real, at its recorded height. The brick one with the green shopfronts is the door.
Scroll.
167 Mott Street
A walk-up with stores, 1900, seven floors, 26 apartments over two commercial units. The front faces east onto Mott and gets the morning sun. The roof is 83.5 ft up on the city's survey.

- Owner

No filing says so. Two web pages do.
The city's storefront registry has this owner's filings for 2019–20 and 2020–21 only. Both shops are filed not vacant. Nothing since. So the date comes from what the last tenant and the broker published.
| When | What the record shows |
|---|---|
| Dec 2023 to Dec 2024 | Eight 311 noise complaints at the address, "loud music / party, store". The tenant's site lists events in the shop in October, November and December 2024. |
| Apr to Jun 2025 | The tenant, AvantGarde Fusion, takes sign-ups for pop-ups at 167 Mott. |
| 17 July 2025 | Last sighting. Its own site still reads "167 Mott St, est. 2021." |
| 17 April 2026 | First sighting of the KSR listing. Possession immediate. |
| 1 October 2026 | The tenant's site reads "now located at 207 Bowery." The KSR page returns "Not Found." LoopNet 39571143 is still indexed. |
Dark for at least 5 months and at most 14. That the listed space is the AvantGarde shop is an inference: the other shop is open. Confirm at the door.
Who has been here
One family held the building for 45 years. Then it sold twice in 15 months, and the shopfronts were rebuilt in between.

Not established: which of the two shopfronts each earlier tenant had, when Wick and Pour opened, and anything before 2013.
Three stations inside 300 m
About 31,402 people enter the three nearest stations on a summer weekday. The peak is at five in the evening, not eight in the morning (1,442 an hour then). People leave from here at the end of the day, which means they came here for it.
- Bowery · J Z
- 215 m · 2,997 a weekday · 87 percent of January 2020
- Spring St · 6
- 278 m · 9,952 a weekday · 102 percent of January 2020, all the way back
- Grand St · B D
- 284 m · 18,453 a weekday · 78 percent of January 2020
- Canal St
- 340 to 450 m · 36,346 a weekday · 84 percent. Bigger, further, and pointed at Canal.
12 percent dark
Within 250 m, in the 2024 reporting year, 39 of 320 storefronts were filed vacant on December 31, after removing duplicate rows. The Comptroller's June 2026 report has the city at 11.0 percent. This block is ordinary.
- Next door
- 171 Mott filed a vacant storefront for 2024. Dark every year on file nearby: 124 Bowery, 220 Centre, 237 Grand, 329 Broome.
- Same side
- 157 · 159 · 161 · 163 and 165, one owner · 167 · 171. Five- and six-storey walk-ups with shops; 167 is the seven.
- Cars
- Nobody has counted Mott. One block east, Elizabeth Street carried 4,091 a day northbound in November 2013. Old, and not this street.
- Bus
- M1 on Centre, 141 m · M103 on Bowery, 179 m. About 284 riders a day at the eight stops inside 300 m. Small.
- Citi Bike
- Grand and Elizabeth, 119 m, 45 docks · Kenmare and Elizabeth, 148 m, 54 docks · five stations inside 300 m
- Crashes
- 87 within 150 m since 2023 · 36 hurt · 12 on foot · 12 on bikes · none killed
What the till carries
No number has been given, so here is the other side: rent as a share of the $503 a day in the 2026 Square record, before production, labor, utilities and insurance.
| Rent a month | A day | Share of $503 | Per sq ft, ground only |
|---|---|---|---|
| $4,000 | $131 | 26 percent | $87 a year |
| $6,000 | $197 | 39 percent | $131 |
| $8,000 | $263 | 52 percent | $175 |
- Leverage
- Less than a long-dark door. This one has been empty 5 to 14 months, not years. What there is: an open facade violation, a possible shed over the glass, and a vacant shop next door at 171.
- The owner
- Paid $17 million in 2015. The mortgage passed from First Republic to JPMorgan Chase in 2024.
- Ask first
- The rent · when the shed comes down, in writing · escalation · tax pass-through · deposit and good-guy terms · is the basement dry and legal · bathroom, gas, HVAC delivered · which shopfront
What is still not known
Nobody counts the people passing this door, and no environmental review has counted this block of Mott. In order of cost:
- First
- Is it still available. The broker's page is gone as of 1 October 2026. It may be leased, or only moved. Call KSR before anything else.
- At the door
- Which shopfront is listed, north or south. Is the shed up. Photograph the front: the model's shopfronts are drawn from the lot record, not from a picture.
- $0
- Stand outside for an hour at five on a weekday and on a Saturday afternoon, and count.
- $0 to $200
- A small counter in the window once the keys are in hand. The only true door count.
- $99 to $299 a month
- One paid month of Placer.ai for the address. Prices are third-party listings.
