Alchemy, in partnership with private equity firm the Carlyle Group, purchased a three-story, nearly 20,000-square-foot retail building on the site at 2251-2259 Broadway, also known as 250-256 West 81st Street, for $51 million in February, The Real Deal reported. The pair have yet to file permit applications to demolish the building.

The Carlyle Group and Goldstein, Hill & West, which is serving as the architect on the project, were not immediately available for comment. Alchemy declined to comment.

Alchemy, a Midtown-based development firm, converted the top 30 floors of the iconic Woolworth building into luxury condos, where a penthouse is on the market for $110 million.
