On Wednesday, workers started removing the scaffolding and construction netting from 130 E. Seventh St. at Avenue A...
[Yesterday morning]
Since fall 2011, the building that houses 7A on the corner has been undergoing renovations... including converting some existing commercial space to residential use and reconstructing a portion of the existing penthouse, per the DOB. Public records show that the University of the Streets sold the building to Park Corner Development, LLC in September 2011 for $5 million.
[Yesterday afternoon]
No word if this units will be rentals or condos or something else...
Anyway, look for the rest of the sidewalk bridge to come down soon enough ... and maybe the 7A sidewalk cafe will see the sun again.
I would absolutely hate to live on that corner. Woo-hoo central.
ReplyDeleteBring on the douchoisie! What a horrid place to live, but from the top floor the park must look really nice.
ReplyDelete7A is really the only douche haven on that block. Everything else is "relatively" chill. (and that's a major emphasis on "relatively").
ReplyDeleteOh... And there's that place that's right across the street from 7A. I don't even know the name of it. I'm not sure I even really 'see it'. I just know it's there.
ReplyDeleteWow, it took them FOREVER to take those down.
ReplyDeleteI was so happy to see an older building but they fucked it up with those soulless looking windows.
ReplyDeleteThe owner (Mohammed's widow) says that she sold the upper floors to the developer, allowing herself to keep the second floor and a few other units. Last summer, as they were tearing the building apart in order to modify and make way for the monied shits that will surely flock there, she expressed regret having made that deal....
