    72 University PlaceA read on the site & its saturated corridor.

    BBL 1•00568•0019 •  GROUND-FLOOR RETAIL  •  GREENWICH VILLAGE, NY 10003  •  TRADE AREA ~0.25 MI

    A ground-floor retail box on one of the Village's most-walked blocks, wrapped by $176K-median-income households and 50,400 daytime bodies — but sitting inside a restaurant corridor that is already saturated.

    The city's own records say the address is almost certainly live: an active liquor license, a recent health inspection, real observed tenants. The only "vacant" signal is a two-year-old vacancy filing that our fusion model overrides. The demand case is unambiguous — the risk is differentiation. Win here with a daily-habit concept, not another full-service dinner room.

    • Specialty café / grab-and-go32K daytime workers + residents; only 78 cafés serving a top-decile-density trade area.

    CAUTIONCROWDED · LOW-DIFFERENTIATION RISK
    • Another full-service restaurant337 restaurants already sit within a 5-minute walk — you'd open into a saturated field.
    • Low-differentiation concepts"Me-too" formats get lost; without a sharp hook, foot traffic won't convert.
    • Destination-dependent formatsThis block rewards daily habit and walk-in — not concepts that need a special-occasion trip.

    06// VERIFY ON THE GROUND

    Before you sign.

    01
    Confirm the storefront is physically vacant

    Our verdict is LIKELY OPEN — walk the lot. If it's dark, that's a fresher signal than any file.

    02
    Pull the actual asking rent & term

    Our $300–440/sf band is a corridor benchmark — get the specific ask, TI, and lease length.

    03
    Check the SLA license transferability

    An active liquor license is an asset — confirm whether it conveys or must be re-applied.

    04
    Time the block: lunch, evening, weekend

    Daytime pop is 50,400 — confirm the flow matches your concept's peak hours on the ground.

    // HOW TO READ THE SIGNALS

    The system dates what it knows.

    Fresh

    A recent, high-trust government signal. Fully weighted — this is the system reading the city's live pulse.

    Stale

    An aged signal that has decayed. It still informs, but fresher live signals override it in the fused verdict.

    Medium

    A corridor-level benchmark, not a lot-specific fact — directionally trustworthy, but confirm on the ground.

    Every figure carries its own evidence date. FWDRE fuses the city's dated government feeds into one honest verdict — three-tier truth, honestly labeled; we date what we know and decay what we don't.
