Redeveloped funeral home looking for a few live retail tenants


On Monday, we pointed out that workers have the scaffolding and sidewalk shed in place outside 154 Second Ave., the former Sigmund Schwartz Gramercy Park Chapel. Plans call for several new floors here with the help of architect Ramy Issac.

And we spotted a listing (PDF) for the retail space over at developer Terrence Lowenberg's Icon Realty....


There is nearly 4,600 square feet of ground-floor space "perfect for: retail store, restaurant," per the listing. Rent is upon request.

The rendering looks similar to Lowenberg's other current projects at 147 First Ave. and 326-328 E. Fourth St.

BEAUTIFUL re-design.

A real addition to Lower Second Avenue.

Ugly, boring, pedestrian, charmless, unimaginative. Yuppoid pods built by yuppoid droids.
