Last week we noted the rendering on the plywood outside 64 E. First St., where new condos are on the way for the block between First Avenue and Second Avenue.
Yesterday, the developer's rep sent us an updated and colorized rendering…
And via the EVG inbox...
A 6-story boutique condominium will rise on 64 E 1st St between 1st Ave and 2nd Ave designed by GF55 Partners Architects and developed by MGM Property Group. The new building will be situated in a tree lined mostly residential block near the F train with street level shops and a playground.
The design envisions a façade with a contemporary industrial feel with large casement windows and metal details. The plan for the development is 6 light-filled residences each averaging 1,900 sq ft. The lower duplex will occupy the cellar and 1st floor with a private rear yard. Floors 2-5 are floor-through units with rear balconies. The upper duplex on the 6th and penthouse levels offer a rooftop terrace. Each unit will have two bedrooms with ensuite bathrooms. Both baths and powder room will be outfitted with waterworks fittings and accessories. The floor plan will have a high end kitchen open to the living and dining areas.
Amenities include a workout room on the first floor and a shared rooftop with a barbeque. The site sits between a 10 unit condo building built in 2007 and a boiler and welding shop that has been there for over 50 years.
The space was once home to the club La Vie, which all the neighbors hated.
Previously on EV Grieve:
La Vie has closed; neighbors rejoice
Former La Vie space on East First Street will be demolished

That's cool. I like those windows.
Looks like all the new construction in past several years, not offensive, safe, and fortunately not 20 stories tall.
Last week a study was released revealing that people who run frequently had the exact same lifespan as couch potatoes who never run at all. They found that moderate exercisers, not the gym rats and workoutaholics, have the longest lifespan. So it's ironic that landlords actually help shorten the lifespan of their tenants by encouraging them to work out so much.
OOOps!....
....the Lego Lawyers have just been notified of this rip-off.
@Geo
As a confirmed couch potato this is encouraging news however there were probably many factors not figured into these statistics. A certain kind of person that enjoys physical challenges is more likely to be a risk taker and enjoy sports which have a high death rate than a stroll in the park. I think its good to be active during ones life but activity of say running farm is better for people than intense workouts for 90 minutes. Again advice from a couch potato.
I'm getting tired of these kind of buildings.
Well, that didn't take long.
