The Post has the story today. The address, south of Houston, will be "a residential building with roughly 84 feet of store frontage. The 24 condo units, a mix of one- and two-bedrooms, will be on floors three through eight, and there will also be a penthouse level. The one-bedrooms will run around 850 to 900 square feet, the two-bedrooms around 1,100 to 1,200 square feet."
BoweryBoogie has been following the story all along. Catch some of his earlier posts on the project.

Nice. Like an electronic billboard with tumbleweeds on top. Perfect for the neoBowery.
Gee! Another imaginationless block of neo-Soviet architecture! Aren't WE lucky!
One more Rubik's Cube building. Only less colorful. Blah!
Aww...C'mon guys...it's so unique and different and cutting edge and current and NOW and the clones that will inhabit this hive cubicle will contribute SO MUCH to the city and to the nabe and to our empty lives that it all makes it worth it.
When you go as high, wide and deep as allowed by law, the only result possible is a big box, which is what they've done here. Nothing exciting about it, but at least they didn't tear down anything historic to build it. The windows have an industrial loft feel, so maybe that's redeeming for the Bowery... a little. So, even though I don't have a vote in the matter, I'll give it a pass... if for no other reason than to prove that nimby locals are not against everything new on the Bowery. Bring it on, but the renters better get some curtains.
