Developer Icon Realty filed plans yesterday for the new retail-residential complex coming to 50-62 Clinton St.
According to New York Yimby, architect Ramy Isaac's building will total 37,868 square feet — good for 37 residences. Plans also call for 1,836 square feet of commercial space.
Despite the plans, one remaining tenant, Wylie Dufresne's wd~50, appears to be staying put. When asked about it last week, he told Grub Street, "We're fine. We're not going anywhere! Don't worry."
BoweryBoogie first reported this impending new construction between Stanton and Rivington back in January.

What the FUCK is going on with the community board??? Bought and paid for by developers.
ReplyDeleteHyper gentrification's new victims are the chic successful artsy restauranteurs which took over building which were once garages and repurposed them into the very definition of hip. The future residents of this and buildings like it will have replaced one of biggest selling points of living here. Welcome to the upper east side.
ReplyDeleteIt does represent the community - the community of carpetbaggers who rush in to exploit without any class whatsoever.
ReplyDelete@anon -- I'm not sure what exactly you expect a Community Board to do. They are only ever advisory, so toothless is an understatement. I'm not happy about this either, but maybe consider putting the blame on some entity with actual power to do something. That's not a Community Board.

ReplyDeletePeople on the community board are real estate developers, restaurnteurs and consultants- their primary objective is to aid in the destruction of the neighborhood. That is why they are on the community board. It's like the mob. There's a woman on the sla committee who is a lounge owner, nightlife lobbyist scumbag who runs a consultant business with another likeminded scumbag. The consulting business shows restauranteurs and bar owners how to manipulate the community board in order to get in. Any information about this consulting business is hidden like Halliburton. Community Board Chair Gigi Li refuses to do anything about her.
