Just continuing to watch the interior demolition at 154 Second Ave., the former Sigmund Schwartz Gramercy Park Chapel between East Ninth Street and East 10th Street.
[Friday]
Plans call for several new floors here for "luxury rental apartments" ... as well as nearly 4,600 square feet of ground-floor space "perfect for: retail store, restaurant," per the Icon Realty listing.
And there's an updated rendering for the building too.

I wish more of the new buildings looked like this rendering. Respectful of its surroundings but modern at the same time. Well done.

ReplyDeleteI agree.
Look, it could be worse. A LOT worse.
ReplyDeleteLet's see if it morphs into worse.
i love that word, rendering. truly! anyway, i hope they tell everyone, i.e., potential buyers, that it once was a funeral home. just for good measure, due diligence, etc.
