Registration Statement on Form S-3 Filed November 26, 2019 File No. 333-235276 Dear Mr. Kahn: We have limited our review of your registration statement to those issues we have addressed in our comments. In some of our comments, we may ask you to provide us with information so we may better understand your disclosure. Please respond to this letter by amending your registration statement and providing the requested information. If you do not believe our comments apply to your facts and circumstances or do not believe an amendment is appropriate, please tell us why in your response. After reviewing any amendment to your registration statement and the information you provide in response to these comments, we may have additional comments. Registration Statement on Form S-3 filed November 26, 2019 General 1. Based on publicly available information, it appears that the aggregate market value of your voting and non-voting common equity held by non-affiliates during the 60 days prior to the date of filing of the registration statement may not have exceeded $75 million, as required by General Instruction I.B.1 of Form S-3. Please advise us as to the basis for your eligibility to register securities on Form S-3 at this time. To the extent you intend to rely on General Instruction I.B.6 to Form S-3 for limited primary offerings, please disclose on the prospectus cover page the information called for by Instruction 7 to General Instruction I.B.6. Please also confirm to us your understanding of the size limitations for offerings made under General Instruction I.B.6. Steven Kahn Trinity Place Holdings Inc. December 9, 2019 Page 2 2. We note that your forum selection provision identifies the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware as the exclusive forum for certain litigation, including any "derivative action." Please disclose whether this provision applies to actions arising under the Securities Act or Exchange Act. In that regard, we note that Section 27 of the Exchange Act creates exclusive federal jurisdiction over all suits brought to enforce any duty or liability created by the Exchange Act or the rules and regulations thereunder, and Section 22 of the Securities Act creates concurrent jurisdiction for federal and state courts over all suits brought to enforce any duty or liability created by the Securities Act or the rules and regulations thereunder. If the provision applies to Securities Act claims, please also revise your prospectus to state that there is uncertainty as to whether a court would enforce such provision and that investors cannot waive compliance with the federal securities laws and the rules and regulations thereunder. We remind you that the company and its management are responsible for the accuracy and adequacy of their disclosures, notwithstanding any review, comments, action or absence of action by the staff. Refer to Rules 460 and 461 regarding requests for acceleration. Please allow adequate time for us to review any amendment prior to the requested effective date of the registration statement. You may contact Jonathan Burr at 202-551-5833 or Pamela Long at 202-551-3765 with any questions. FirstName LastNameSteven Kahn Sincerely, Comapany NameTrinity Place Holdings Inc.
