NYC Nightclub boss has BIG MAC ATTACK. Philippe Starck, Shvo, Bovis and Douglas Elliman all WANT BEEF??
New York City nightclub boss JE Englebert, the co-owner of Prime nightclub and Suzie Wong lounge is again pissed off..
For years, Englebert lived at the pristine "Downtown by Philippe Starck" building at 15 Broad Street in the Wall Street area. When the club owner heard the distinguished designer Philippe Starck, one of the most famous designers in the world had started to design a new building in the Gramercy Park area he jumped on the opportunity to buy in early. He bought another condo this time at the sumptuous "Gramercy Starck" 340 E 23rd Street high rise while it was under pre construction. Englebert figured the new location would be ideal, closer to his hot nightspots in West Chelsea. His elation turned to dismay quickly when the building's management allowed a storefront McDonald's to open. Is a tacky fast food joint the right image for a high end luxury building? Englebert thinks not. "McDonald's is a great American institution but does not belong at Gramercy Starck, a far star building. I've often come home, any time of the day and have found riff raff hanging outside the McDonald's. The sidewalk is littered with McDonald's wrappers. Plus the space reeks, you can smell burger grease."
Englebert has consulted a high priced lawyer and will be suing the building's sales, owners and management including Michael Shvo Real Estate, developer Bovis Lend Lease and Douglas Elliman Property Management for allowing this most unwelcome tenant to set-up shop. Englebert says "I have solid evidence that the building reps portrayed this as a high end building at the time of sale then allowing McDonald's in without disclosing this to any of the buildings buyers. The management was not acting in the best interest of the building by letting them in the commercial space. It was a shady move! If I knew about Mc Donald's before I closed on the unit I would have never bought there. All my neighbors are upset." Englebert has a lot of tenants behind him and is planning a class action suit.
