As the Post first reported on Jan. 19, the space will become an 82-unit, eight-story development that should break ground this summer for a late 2013 opening. "Prices are still to be determined for the project’s studio and one-, two- and three-bedroom units," according to the Post.
The work permits say that the space will include 86,409 square feet for residential and 5,275 square feet for retail. The good news about the retail: You can likely count out an iHop ... 7-Eleven... KFC... Dunkin' Donuts...Duane Reade...
BKSK is listed as the architect of record... according to the BKSK website, their residential work includes 25 Bond Street, home of $20 million apartments and, once, Will Smith, as Curbed has noted.
We leave with this aerial view of what became the Mystery Lot circa 1913... from ConEd looking at the southeast corner of 14th Street and Third Avenue...
And you can spot the former Jefferson Theatre...

Nice photo. Any idea what was the building where the parking lot is now?
Also, as far as Mystery Lot Arms, will it have features such as

Did you know that on the 13th Street site of the Mystery Lot there once stood a church or temple, you can see it in the picture above, right above the Jefferson. It was destroyed by the Lindsay Administration who assumed the site site was abandoned with no owners. No one wanted a temple in a drug infested area. Lo and behold, there was an owner and he was in California, boy was he pissed. He won the case for I don't know much but he got enough, that's for sure. Wonder if the site is still held by him or his heirs? But they did destroy a religious site, same as used to fo in Russia or China
Great to use that picture- the year my grandfather arrived in NY from Tsarist Russia!
