While discussing the other day how quickly 10 Bond was racing toward completion, we mentioned the scant progress at 185-193 Avenue B, 20-some months in the making.
As previously noted, there's a 7-story mixed-used residential building with 41 dwelling units in the works for the corner here at East 12th Street. The building will include the new home of the Elim Pentecostal Church.
We took a look late last week to see how it was progressing. Looks like the crew is up to three floors now...
Nearby residents and school children endured months of relentless pile driving and other building-rattling noise. There were complaints about cracks next door at No. 183, which we heard put a temporary halt to the construction.
The rendering notes a completion date of October 2014.
Nine floors in 19 days? Let's do it!

[Updated] The 'insane' noise and pounding are back at 185 Avenue B
Beyond the hold up from the near disaster with the neighboring building this site has re-defined "snail's pace". A lot of noise each day with little to show for it. Thanks for the rendering though.
ReplyDeleteIt's a damn miracle that no children have been run over, thanks to the dangerous traffic bottlenecks and sidewalk deprivation this permanent construction site creates for the three schools next door. Plenty of time yet, though, I guess. Thanks, asshole developers.
