We walked by Alphabet Plaza, the 12-story mixed-used apartment building going up at East Houston and Avenue D, the other day (Saturday!) ...
and noticed a few more new developments... such as the emergence of the parking garage...
There is a curb cut...
In total, there will be 135 units here, 30 of them affordable (the deadline to apply was Feb. 18).
Other building amenities include 24-hour doorman, valet services (laundry drop-off and pick-up), fitness center, residents lounge, landscaped roof decks with BBQ area and bike storage.

Hideous.
It's got kind of an East Germany in the 1960s vibe.
Could there be anything more stupefying ugly?
Oh Ken, East German architecture was much better than this!
New York City architecture has pretty much always been about profit over beauty. Look at the most expensive building we have WTC 1, a bland glass pylon instead of a monument of the NY spirit and culture. The vision is to squeeze every penny out of every square inch in a new building, period.
What's up with the gray-brick trend?
Looking at that photo, I had no idea where this was (street, neighborhood, city). There must be a giant pre-fab glass box factory somewhere that churns out these anywhere buildings.
Who knew you could stack feces so neatly?
What do u think they're thinking @ Jacob Riis, Baruch and Lillian Wald? I know. I grew up there.
Seems there's a lot of angry people out there...
It's sad to see people so concerned with the outside looks. It's a home. A place to live. Some people don't have that luxury.
