Scaffolding comes off Larchmont Mercantile
SHOPPERS walk by the newly renovated Larchmont Mercantile storefronts.
New stores announced
The scaffolding was removed from the Larchmont Mercantile building last month to reveal the building’s fresh façade, and representatives for the building tell us that one new tenant has been confirmed, with more on the way.
Located at 124½ – 148 N. Larchmont Blvd., the Larchmont Mercantile building, previously known as the Lipson Building, has been reimagined by architecture firm Gensler. The project boasts 14 retail boutiques, spanning more than 17,000 square feet of commercial space. Construction work was performed by Del Amo Construction.
The building’s new design consists of four unique architectural façades that generate a cohesive vision. The concept maximizes the storefront openings by breaking up the long unassuming exterior into distinct “buildings,” which revive the property’s original 1920s character with a modern reinterpretation, according to building owner Christina.

In addition to the two previously announced tenants to open soon in the new space, Holey Grail Donuts and Skin Laundry, a third tenant has now been confirmed: Boba The Great. According to a Christina representative, the local concept will be a café that serves made-in-house boba tea, among other things. A few more leases are expected to execute soon, we were told, so stay tuned.
Larchmont 2021 update
Results of the Larchmont 2021 survey that closed Jan. 13 likely will be released later this month. “We are preparing a summary of the survey results that we hope to have done this week or early next week. We invited a third party to review the survey and help us interpret the results,” Larchmont 2021 committee member John Kaliski told us on Feb. 22.
