Construction is moving forward on ODA's ambitious condominium addition at 809 Broadway in Greenwich Village. Since 1972, the existing five-story, 126-year-old building was owned by Blatt Billiards and was the headquarters of its pool table manufacturing business. Now vacant, the structure will be absorbed into a 15-floor condominium and retail development. More than 10,000 square feet will be added to the already 30,000 square foot structure, which includes a 10-floor vertical addition. The original height of the building will more than quadruple, rising from 55 feet to 232 feet.

In May of 2013, Blatt Billiars principals Ronald Blatt and Bruce Roeder signed a deal to sell the property for $24 million to a partnership of three investors, led by principal Ariel Rom. The syndicate, under the alias 809 Broadway Holding LLC, hired IDM Capital as the project development manager, and filed plans for a $55 million conversion and addition in November 2013.
Architect Eran Chen of ODA is leading the building's residential overhaul. The exterior will be transformed into a vigorous composition of black panels and glass. Its forthcoming scope will include retail and amenity space on the ground level. Full-floor units will be on the second through ninth floors, with both a duplex and triplex penthouse at its apex. Amenities will include outdoor terraces for some units, tenant storage, bike storage, a dog-washing room, a gym, sauna, and a recreation room.
