Marketing has begun for The Theater Condominium at 133 Second Avenue on the northwest corner at St. Mark's Place in the East Village.
The five-story building was acquired several years ago by David Berley and Jud Ebersman of Walters & Samuel for $5.7 million from Capital Investment Associates.
Ida Galea is the architect for the conversion.
From 1913 through 1930, this building was the 535-seat New Law Theater. According to the CinemaTreasures website, "it was one of the first theaters operated by the M & S chain of Mayer and Schneider" and Louis Steinart was the architect. A poster at the website said that "the 1926 edition of Film Daily Yearbook lists the St. Mark's theater (600 seats) at 133 Second Avenue" and another poster noted that the theater was "actually located around the corner at 35-37 St. Mark's place" and another poster said that "In the 1914-1915 edition of American Motion Picture Director the Astor Theater is listed at 133 Second Avenue."
In 1930, a certificate of occupancy was issued for this address to the Worlds Circus Museum.
The building has a roof garden, an elevator and a video intercom.
Apartments have newly renovated kitchens with granite countertops and stone flooring. The apartments also have washers and dryers and large, floor-to-ceiling windows and some have skylights.
There are 11 apartments. A 790-square-foot apartment on the fifth floor is priced at about $954,000.
St. Mark's Place, one of the city's more interesting streets with a melange of restaurants, shops and tattoo parlors, is the main street of the East Village.
