Alphabet Plaza rising on D

We continue to monitor the progress at the incoming Alphabet Plaza, the 12-story mixed-used apartment building at East Houston and East Second Street/Avenue D ...

Actually, EVG reader Ray is monitoring the progress... where residents living in 11-13 Avenue D are slowly losing their southern views...

Early April!

Looks like a xerox of the building two blocks away, at on the NW corner of 2nd St and Ave B, at least at ground level. Probably the retail will also be a xerox (Duane Reade and a douchebag bar).

These aren't even people that are taking us over. They're replicants.

Is that a bid terrace in the back? Sure looking forward to hearing those woo-ers into the wee hours!

"mixed-use" aka 80% of the apartments for the rich and 20% for the poor. when did the city turn it's back on the needy?

Anon 9:48: The woo-ers are out in full force, sadly. My AC is no longer enough to drown out all the WOOOOOOOOs. I think I need 2 AC units per room, one in each window in the apartment...

Having grown up on 'D' when it was beyond dangerous and scary (1960's) I'd say this is a terrific improvement to the neighb.

Holy dejavu Batman, I used to live at 11-13, the 6-floors-with-no-elevator building. This is the view from the kitchen window.

In one of the buildings they took out to build this megaplex used to live a rooster. Whoever raised it would let it stretch its legs once in a while on the exposed rooftop and it would just patrol along the ledges. I called it the roof cock of Ave D.

That's how ghetto it used to be over there. Now there's Citibike docks.
