The demolition of the townhouse at 532 E. Fifth St. and the construction of its replacement started in November 2008... @zmack passed along the above photo this morning, noting that the "scaffolding on 5th st *finally* came down today! It's been at least 2.5 years since I've seen that sidewalk."
Indeed. Welcome back, sidewalk.
Anyway, as Curbed pointed out a few weeks back, some of the units in the building located just west of Avenue B are on the market. "The entire building consists of 2BR, 2BA rentals with a sustainable bent. Amenities: common roof deck and garden, in-apartment washer-dryer, building-wide secure WiFi, and general eco-friendliness."
There is an active listing for a unit at $5,695.

Man, that is one ugly-ass building. If you had a contest to design the most unappealing, least-context-appropriate building possible...this would be a winner!
It is my belief these are temporary constructions and won't last 50 years. Maybe someone in the construction industry can refute that, its not like I want these to collapse...but I just get the impression they are built with the cheapest materials and the lowest baselines.
that building is simply atrocious
