Test drilling along an empty stretch of East 14th Street

A crew has set up shop over on East 14th Street...outside the strip of recently vacated buildings between Avenue A and Avenue B ... The workers are testing water levels and the composition of the soil ... steps to take before any construction can start here...
A still-unspecified new development will eat up much of the block. As we first reported last December, eight parcels consisting of 222 Avenue A and 504 - 530 E. 14th St. (excluding No. 520) were leased for a 99-year period by the respective owner of East Village 14 LLC. As The Real Deal reported, city property records show that Gary Barnett of Extell Development signed a 99-year lease worth $35.14 million to rent eight Sol Goldman-owned properties.
No word on any construction timeline here either. Back in November 2012, we spotted a drill outfit at the former Mary Help of Christians, which was eventually demolished last month.
