Estate Four is renovating 130,000 square feet of the building into 11 photo studios, 9 green rooms, a restaurant, bar, art gallery, small movie theater, library, offices and storage space for lighting and equipment rentals. The completed structure, designed by Adjmi & Andreoli, will also include a 20,000-square-foot roof deck.

Estate Four acquired its stake in the site, between Grand and Canal streets, for $12 million in 2010. [Curbed]
