As we reported last week, the Manhattan Parking Group was closing its lot at 74-84 Third Ave. at 12th Street. On Thursday morning, crews arrived to remove the signs.
According to multiple sources, this space will some day house a new apartment building. There's nothing on file yet with the DOB to suggest anything imminent.
Meanwhile, new management took over the lot last Friday, though one source said this was a temporary arrangement.
Meanwhile, workers are testing soil samples to monitor the water level here... such exploratory drilling is required prior to the start of any construction project...

It's much more than the water level. They are determining the composition of the fill, soil and rock to gauge the difficulty of excavation for the foundation and how extensive that foundation work must be, i.e. the number and depth of pilings.
