Well, you know the story of the circa-1847 building at 315 E. 10th St. that faces Tompkins Square Park. As you'll recall, the city OK'd a one-floor rooftop addition here in January hours before the Landmarks Preservation Committee approved the East 10th Street Historic District.
Last December, Ben Shaoul's Magnum Real Estate Group bought the building from The Educational Alliance. Renovations converted the building into residential use.
And yesterday, the first of the listings hit the market... According to Streeteasy:
This all new, fully gut renovated three bed has something for everyone... Three equal sized bedrooms that are queen sized +, a gleaming white extra large bathroom, laundry in unit, high end kitchen with dark ebony cabinets, stainless appliances w/ dishwasher and microwave and quartz counter tops, a large living/dining combo. If you want to catch some skyline views or rays take the elevator up to the shared roof deck and check out 360' unobstructed views of the city. You really will have it all here.
The price to have it all these days: $4,895
Let's take a look...
Meanwhile, earlier this morning, a tipster sent us a screengrab of the listing at MDNY...

Well, I wouldn't refuse the place if it was offered to me, but why do they always gut the places? The rooms are now charmless and sterile, like public bathrooms. An historic front and generic interior is a pretty big ripoff. (perhaps charmless and sterile people would feel at home there?)
Sounds like they need to install some air conditioners in there.
I heard a broker talking on his call out front about meeting someone there to show them the place. They sure banged that out fast.
People sure pay a lot of money to live in dorm like conditions.
we live right next door and are super excited about hearing the elevator which will go right past our heads when we're asleep. also looking forward to obnoxious nyu students for neighbors.
This has that party-hardy, frat-tastic look to it. I can only imagine the young masters of the universe who will be throwing down Keystone Light-Papa John's par-tays in that backyard stable. Hope the neighbors like the sound of the Dave Matthews Band and the smell of flatulence.
Can we talk about the that sad excuse for a kitchen with 12" of counter space? There is hardly room for the future tenants take out delivery bag. The roof parties will be heard for blocks. A new building 12th street we call the NYU dorm has a tenant accessible roof where late into the night we can hear things like "dude, that's sick" and OMG!
The parties that they *will* throw on that rear patio will keep about 5-700 local tenants abutting the garden awake at night. We hsuffer with two of them behind buildings on 4th and A and the inane, drunken banter and craptacular music/sports games (complete with woo-ing, of course) is maddening.
I'm with Simon on the patio thing. I'm in the same situation. Wherever you have open space, the people that get the apt. inevitably end up throwing week-long parties that are so loud you'd think no one lives around them for miles, except that they are doing it right under other people windowsills. It's infuriating.
If I didn't know any better I'd say these were tailor made for the college slash douche archetype. Four equal sized bedrooms for easy sharing, desultory kitchen that at least looks stylish, dorm suite style living room and rooftop party space which lets face it in this culture is like the ultimate currency. Gotta say for $1650 apiece a bro could do a lot worse.
I'm disappointed in how the building was chopped up like this. Until I saw the photos, I had been pleasantly surprised that the developer kept the building in the spirit of the rest of the block. This topic has been discussed here before — but I can't even see the addition from the street.
But back to being disappointed. This looks they the developer is gunning for the young crowd, and not the more upscale, mid-careerist types that I'd prefer here.
Sorry... if I'm going to be paying $1625 i'm not going to be living with 3 other people.
BenShaoul should be thrown in jail for crimes against culture and humanity.
The East Village will NEVER forget what you did to our old folks at Cabrini, Shaoul.
You will rot in hell for that alone.
these bros get a real kitchen for maximum whoo as opposed to the latest post about the ubiquity of minibar kitchens. Sounds about right! If they're going to keep this up with the roof parties etc., maybe NYU campus security needs to patrol the area
Particularly after living through months of pounding metal, drilling, scraping, and banging, even on weekends, but with at least an endpoint to look forward to, it is quite dreadful to contemplate the prospect of noisy patio and rooftop parties disturbing this relatively quiet, residential backyard niche.
