Tribeca Citizen | Spectrum has closed on Chambers (2024)

The Spectrum store on Chambers, at the corner with Church in 30 Warren, has closed. This is a prominent corner, and it’s a bummer to have it empty. (Thanks to B. for spotting the sign weeks ago.)

But wait, there’s more: there have been plans for a cannabis dispensary at 30 Warren on the CB1 agendas for the past two months, and before Spectrum closed, I assumed there was a smaller retail space in the building with an entrance on Warren. However, it may indeed be that they want that entire glass storefront on Church: the application is now listed as 149 Church. The applicant, once again with the ridiculous name, is Cloud Father.

Neighbors are organizing against that one already — there is a petition against it here. The meeting is Feb. 15, 6p, Manhattan Community Board Office – Conference Room – 1 Centre Street, 2202A-North, or online live here.

While we are on the topic of that corner, the space across Church Street, in Tribeca Rogue, or 146 Church, has been empty since the Vitamin Shoppe left in 2022.
