Workers yesterday began boarding up the former La Vie space at 64 E. First St., the unpopular-with-neighbors club that closed in June 2013 after a protracted battle with the State Liquor Authority.
Permits show — pending DOB approval — a 6-floor residential building going up in this space between First Avenue and Second Avenue.
Back in April, New York Yimby reported that there will be six residential units (likely condos) — "two duplexes, one spanning the cellar and first floor, and another located on the sixth and penthouse levels; each of the other four residences will be full-floor."
First, though, the existing one-level structure needs to be demolished. (Someone also needs to pay $5,000 for DOB civil penalties.)
DOB permits show that Ekstein Development is behind the project.
