Ben Shaoul's bland new 2nd Avenue building is called The East Luxe

Back in July crews finished adding 3 new floors in the total remake of 31-33 Second Ave., which is now a charmless grey box. Perhaps to compensate for the bland exterior here between East Second Street and East First Street, Ben Shaoul's rental building is sporting an upscale name — The East Luxe.

And listings for the units arrived on the market yesterday. According to Streeteasy, there are eight active listings for the 2- and 3-bedroom apartments with an average piece of $5,200.

Here's a look at a listing via Platinum:

There aren't any shots of the apartments online just yet, so we don't know if the inside fared better than the outside.

Meanwhile, BoweryBoogie previously reported that a Petco-branded store is set for the retail space.
