Occupying a key parcel in the eclectic East Village of New York City, the 12-story Carl Fischer Building and its adjacent warehouse were the subject of a major adaptive reuse and renovation project managed by a Henna principal. This vintage 1926 historic edifice, which previously housed the renowned Carl Fischer music publishing company, is located across the street from the landmark Cooper Union where Abraham Lincoln and Mark Twain once spoke.

In what started as an opportunistic acquisition in 1999, the Art Deco classic was subsequently converted into 18,800 square feet of prime retail space and 26 loft-style condominiums, both of which were delivered into a robust real estate market. The Henna principal lead all phases of the substantial redevelopment effort, including the procurement of historic building status and other entitlements, design, development, and marketing.
