Making way for Ben Shaoul's new retail-residential complex on East Houston



The demolition of the one-level row (except for Katz's!) of storefronts along East Houston between Ludlow and Orchard started back in early May, as BoweryBoogie first noted.

    Walking around New York used to be filled with architectural surprise and variety. Now it's turning into the capital of boring buildings!
