Construction watch: 277 E. Seventh St.

Work started last summer at the former parking lot at 277 E. Seventh St. near Avenue D, home one day to a six-floor, six-unit apartment building that will look like...



It appears as if they're up to about the fifth floor.

Curbed got the scoop in August about what to expect from inside...

There are five 1,200-square-foot two-bedroom, two-bathroom homes — two of which have private rooftop decks— and the sixth unit is a 900-square-foot ground level apartment, which has a private garden.

The interiors will feature wide plank floors, white lacquered kitchen cabinetry, Caesarstone counters, etc. Construction is estimated to wrap by the Spring.

Meanwhile, how has life been living behind this construction site? A reader shared some details...



"We've been woken up at 7 am every workday to incessant pounding, shouting and yet more noise for months now ... I've coped by keeping a very loud in-wall fan running every night in the bedroom and wearing ear plugs meant for a shooting range, but it's still hard to sleep."
