Stellar Management Scoops 26 Vandam Street in Air Rights Play

Larry Gluck’s Stellar Management has purchased an apartment building at 26 Vandam Street for $6.1 million in a play to add air rights to its undertaking at One SoHo Square.

Gluck plans to tack the 15,625 square feet of air rights onto the 80,000 square feet of new office penthouse space being added to neighboring 161 Sixth Avenue and 233 Spring Street.
