A look at the dwindling number of East Village lots


Tomorrow, the parking lot at 327 E. Ninth Street between First Avenue and Second Avenue is closing, as Curbed first noted...


Coming soon: A six-story, two-unit residential building, as we first noted on Aug. 10.

Curbed got the renderings for the new building...


Anyway, this is just the latest former lot (parking or previously vacant) to be gobbled up for new development.

Among some other notable lots-to-apartment buildings that we've been watching:

26 Avenue B

75 First Ave.

535-537 E. 11th St.

227 E. Seventh St.


277 E. 7th St. (Above)


321 E. Third St. (Above)

5-9 Avenue D

There are other developments in the works for crater-filled lots that we haven't covered just yet, such as the empty space on Avenue C at East Sixth Street, where plans are in place for a six-story apartment building.


So, yeah.

Now this isn't any kind of eulogy for empty lots, parking or otherwise. Rather, it's a round-up of future developments... and an inventory of remaining open space. (Still, we do like our empty, weed-filled lots.)

Meanwhile, here are some other currently empty lots being used for cars... or nothing in particular... (And we're not suggesting that all of these are on the market... just pointing them out...)

East 14th Street between First Avenue and Second Avenue...


First Avenue between East Fifth Street and East Sixth Street...


East Third Street just east of Avenue C...


East Ninth Street just west of Avenue C...


A favorite: East Second Street between Avenue B and Avenue C...


East Seventh Street between Avenue A and First Avenue...


East Sixth Street between Avenue C and Avenue D...


East Eight Street just west of Avenue D. Plans have been scratched for an 6-story building (for now)...


East 10th Street east of Avenue B....


East 13th Street west of Avenue B... which has been on and off the market for several years (and where there were plans for a new building)...



Well, there are a few others. (What are we missing?) And it's not like you need an empty lot for a new building. For examples, just ask the current tenants at 79-89 Avenue D or 504 - 530 E. 14th St.
