Thor owns an 80 percent stake in the building, which has a two-story brick façade and four-story glass and steel section. The development includes more than 7,000 square feet of outdoor space on the second and third floors.

“While the building is special inside, this is a special neighborhood and you want to capture the neighborhood outside,” Joseph Sitt of Thor told the Wall Street Journal. [WSJ] — Mark Maurer
