Avenue A is for [construction] Action



Work commenced last Wednesday at the former Mary Help of Christians property along Avenue A between East 11th Street and East 12th Street.

438 E. 12th St. (aka 181 Avenue A)



The new plywood and renewed construction activity arrived last week where the Mary Help of Christians church, school and rectory once stood ... where there will be a 6-floor mixed-use building with ground-floor retail and 82 market-rate condos via developer Douglas Steiner.



The rendering on the plywood notes that the project will be completed in August 2017...



500 E. 14th St. at Avenue A



We're two months into the digging and pile-driving here ... the site will yield a 7-floor retail-residential building via Extell Development.

So Avenue A is for...

    I live on 12th street and there's been plenty of construction all around us for the past 2 years so morning begin around 7am with some sort of drilling, banging and noise from heavy equipment rolling down the street. Plenty more coming for the weary though it's like this part of the EV is being entirely rebuilt. sigh.....

    One for all and all for the rich. The Bloomberg legacy rolls on. And De Blasio's confusing agenda will be of no help.
