Another look at the new dorm for Cooper Square


[Photo by Robert Miner]

As we reported on Friday, a rendering went up for the new dorm coming to Cooper Square and East Sixth Street… We stopped by during the weekend for another glance … as you can see, work has started on the corner space…



As Curbed reported, Marymount Manhattan College will be leasing the space.

Here's a closer look at the rendering… particularly the always entertaining scalies ("the proud inhabitants of the architectural rendering world") ...





And Nanny McPhee makes an appearance...



Workers also painted over the plywood… getting rid of all the ads that we were so enjoying...



Previously on EV Grieve:
Something 28,998 square feet or so coming to Cooper Square (and goodbye Cooper 35 Asian Pub?)

Here's what's coming to 35 Cooper Square: 9-story dormitory

Proposed dorm for former 35 Cooper Square looks to be 4 floors taller

    *Marymount*?!? Oh sure, come down to the East Village from the tony Upper East Side and destroy *our* historic buildings to benefit *your* privileged students, why not?!?

    Does anyone know why there were 50-60 cops in front of this site yesterday?

    Thanks, Gojira. Was just thinking: Why not build a dorm on the UES? Cause: NITBY?

    I love that they put a bank on the ground floor, because, of course.

    Where are all those people from? Chicago? That does NOT look like the NYC I know.

    Why is an uptown college building a dorm here?

    (The bank in the ground floor just adds insult to injury. Just what the neighborhood needs. More banks).

    Go away.

    That corner lot is a SINK HOLE that necessitated the demolition of the building that occupied that site. As a parking lot, it continued sinking, no matter how cement they poured on it to level it off. I would LOVE to see a yuppie ghetto at that corner slowly sink into the ground....
