We noticed a few workers on top of 98-100 Avenue A on Friday… they were jackhammering away...

And a rooftop view...

The former movie theater/grocery is coming down to make way for Ben Shaoul's retail-residential complex here between East Sixth Street and East Seventh Street. The rendering posted on the plywood shows a new building looking like this...

A retail listing that we posted in May stated that the building will contain 40 residential units.
Also on the plywood outside 98-100 Avenue A…

Previously on EV Grieve:
A little bit of Hollywood on Avenue A
East Village Farms is closing; renovations coming to 100 Avenue A
Inside the abandoned theater at East Village Farms on Avenue A
Reader reports: Village Farms closing Jan. 31; building will be demolished
Asbestos abatement continues at 98 Avenue A, Ben Shaoul's latest East Village trophy
Any guesses on what they're trying to accomplish with this demolition before the start of snowfall and true Winter? The roof is now torn open; will they be able to completely demolish this before the new year / terrible weather?
