The 'for rent' signs have arrived on the corner of 14th Street and Avenue A

Spotted yesterday on the sidewalk shed...


A three-alarm fire wiped out the corner on May 12, 2010... taking with it neighborhood favorites Stuyvesant Grocery and Pete's-a-Pizza ...

[EV Grieve reader Sergey]

The corner has sat vacant since crews stripped the place clean several months after the fire... the owners of both businesses had said that they wanted to reopen here ...

[February 2011]

Conspiracy theories abound for this corner ripe for development. The usual suspects such as NYU have already been eliminated. (Via The Villager.)

The number is for Solil Management/Sol Goldman Investments. We didn't find any details about terms of the rentals, space available, air rights, etc.


Thoughts on what type of development will eventually land here?

I'm curious: What exactly is "for rent?" Isn't it still a gutted shell behing the plywood?

@Baby Dave Yeah, it's basically a hovel in there.

What a shame those great businesses aren't going to return. It seems the landlord used the fire to jack-up the ren. I really miss the ST Grocery guys.
