As previously reported, the old Limelight/Avalon nightclub space is going through a massive gutting and recreation to become the Limelight Marketplace, a retail space with dozens of shops, a market, and what looks from the floor-plan to be two restaurants with a courtyard. (Rumors suggest Danny Meyer was/is considering the space.)

Here are some details (with spectacular illustrations by Mansour Design):

Level 1 – Festival of Shops featuring ‘cutting edge retailers and products that put the fun back in shopping’ as well as a Gourmet and Specialty Food Market.

Continued from the prior post, here is the proposed second level of the upcoming Limelight Marketplace.

Level 2 – The Apothecary for cosmetics, the Sneaker Gallery for the latest kicks, and the Home Gallery for home furnishings and accessories.

According to the New York Post, the infamous Limelight club space (most recently called Avalon) at 6th Avenue and 20th Street, is slated to become the Limelight Marketplace this year, with 80 ‘high-end’ shops and possibly a restaurant. Originally a church built in the mid-1800’s, the space became a club over the last few decades plagued by drugs and even was the stomping grounds of the killer and victim of a notorious murder.
