Reps for L&M Development Partners pre-filed plans on Friday for a 12-story, mixed-use building here on the west side of Avenue D between East Seventh Street and East Sixth Street. The space is currently home to Rite Aid and two long-empty storefronts.
The plans show a building with a total of 96,038 square feet (7,868 of them for the retail component). In total, the plans show 108 dwelling units.
The Real Deal reported last May that the developers could build to 96,400 square feet with an inclusionary housing bonus. So given the dimensions, we're assuming that some of the units will be set aside for that.
In a previous post about 79-89 Avenue D, a commenter said that the Rite-Aid would temporarily move to the still-empty retail space the next block up at Arabella 101 … then return once the new building is complete. (We haven't heard anything official about this.)
L&M Development Partners, one of the groups involved in the Essex Crossing development at the former Seward Park urban renewal site, previously acquired 79-89 Avenue D for $12.5 million.

Who in the fuck wants to live across from the projects?
ReplyDeleteAve D isn't covered by the rezoning a few years back ?
ReplyDeleteWho in the fuck wants to live across from you?
ReplyDeletegosh, we're losing a Rite-Aid? what shall we do?
ReplyDeleteHow many feet of water was this under during Sandy?
ReplyDeleteThe affordable units generated by the inclusionary zoning bonus do not have to be on site. This is a problem with the zoning. In fact, the units can even be rehabbed. If they are on site look for the "poor door".
ReplyDelete$12.5mil
ReplyDeletethese guys are making a KILLING
probably will sell a penthouse alone for that, plus 2-3 more units pays for the building and construction
this city is going to thieves
rich just getting richer and richer
so sad
The public housing on the East side of Ave D will not be there much longer, that shit is a goldmine for developers and some backroom deal will be made to move all these folks to Mineola or as far from Manhattan as possible. Time to start thinking of the Hudson and East rivers as moats that fortify the castle.
ReplyDeleteRow row row your boat
ReplyDeleteGently down Ave D
Merrily merrily merrily merrily
Flood zones are a dream
Yeah cos who needs little things like light, sun, sky and air when there's profit to be had?
ReplyDeleteI agree with one of the last commenters. It is only a matter of time before the projects are obliterated. Once they are removed, prices will only rise. Manhattan is truly the land of the filthy rich. You need at least 250k to live comfortably here, and that is in a modest way. I don't see how someone would spend over 500k to live across from the projects. You might as well carry a gun with you.
ReplyDeleteHehehe.. Good one NOTORIOUS!
