The lights are on, but is anyone home at E2E4?

Just a few weeks ago we noticed that newspapers were being delivered to the gated driveway at E2E4, the 15-story tower of condo on the Bowery...now, as you can, see, some lights have appeared in a few of the units...




Perhaps these are just the units being used for the open houses, so you can get a feel for what the place will be like at night or check out the losers paying $475 a night at the Bowery Hotel.

The gated driveway is lit up as well...



We walked by the other day during open house hours. In five minutes, we saw seven people exit the gated driveway on East Fourth Street...including two men who I usually see hanging out in front of the former Kelley & Ping space around the corner. One of the men leaned toward me and said, with some enthusiasm, "There's only one apartment on each floor!"

And you can watch people while they shower. And vice versa.



According to the Core Group Web site, there are three available units. There are five units in contract... and three -- all priced at $2 million and above -- have "recently sold," including the one to John Legend...

Anyway, hard to believe that it was nearly two years ago when Jeremiah first wrote about what was coming here... and it was back in March 2006 when Curbed started getting some reader-submitted photos of the construction/destruction here.

    At Hedonism you can watch people in the glass bottom jacuzzi, from underneath, in the pool below. Just saying.
