On the last day of March owner and nightlife fixture Don Hill died at the age of 66, leaving the future of his SoHo club, being run by Paul Sevigny and Nur Khan, uncertain. According to the NY Post, on Monday the club closed its doors after a weekend of hosting A-list revelers for TriBeCa Film Festival after parties.
Alas, it seems as though that space has now been turned over to developers, and the paper notes that public records identify the current owners as Ponte Equities. Eater claims the rent hadn't been paid, and the landlord changed the locks and informed the club owners the one-story building would be torn down.
Khan told the Post, "[the property offered a] moneymaking opportunity unconcerned with preserving Don's legacy. I will be sad to see the doors close as it was such a passion project for me."
