Here's what's left of the block of University Place that once housed Bowlmor Lanes
The west side of University Place between East 12th Street and East 13th Street has been cleared of those silly old buildings and businesses, including Bowlmor Lanes.
There are now approved permits with the city for developer Billy Macklowe's 23 stories of condos here. Plans call for more than 50 residences averaging more that 2,000 square feet each. Amenities include basement storage, onsite parking and a fitness center.
Bowlmor Lanes closed in July 2014 after 76 years in business.
In addition, the corner space at 13th Street that housed University Place Gourmet as well as adjacent storefronts, including Bennie Louie Chinese Laundry, were demolished. A 7-story condo with six residences will rise from from this lot. These plans are pending with the city.

Just that corner lot...6 condos where there used to be 4 stores and 36+/- apartments? Not progress from this angle.
ReplyDelete2,000 sq ft new development units = $4mm+ apartments, apartments people. I would go to bowl moor once a year maybe, and it was always lovely. Rip.
