Reaching the top at 347 Bowery



Looks as if workers have reached the top at 347 Bowery. (We've been waiting for some kind of ceremonial flag atop the structure at East Third Street.)

By our count, that's 13 floors... (these photos are from Sunday...)





And the recap: Workers demolished the Salvation Army's former East Village Residence that was on this corner … to make way for a 13-story, 30,000 square-foot mixed-use residential development.

Per developer Urban Muse, the project will feature five 3-bedroom homes ranging from 2,100 to 4,000 square feet, two 2,000-square-foot commercial units and one 6,800-square-foot retail unit.

Annabelle Selldorf, who designed the nearby 10 Bond Street, is listed as the architect of record.

And this is the most recent building rendering that we've seen...



And a few years ago...

Do you remember when Koi wanted to turn the space into an upscale sushi restaurant back in 2009?

Looks like 347 Bowery will be home to a 13-floor mixed-use residential development

The future of 347 Bowery (sorta!) revealed

Let's take a look at 347 Bowery, now and in the future

    This new building jammed in against that f-ygly hotel is the very illustrates the absence of urban panning in this city.

    Any news about the development site next door? The building looks to be off the market.

    The juxtaposition is so ridiculous that it looks like a mistake.

    Its just a matter of time before they push the Bowery Mission out. It'll be one of those deals where the board gets a lot of real estate money and say they can better use the money to help the homeless somewhere else, like out in the Hamptons.

    You are so right. How could some be so stupid to angle the buildings so close. Reeks of desperation.

    I am most tickled by the recent rendering not having the Scarrano (sp) building in the background. 9 people /families must be furious losing their views, then again they have private parking and an outdoor pool, so let's not shed too many tears for 'em.

    To 9:44 — The building on East 3rd Street adjacent to this is still on the market. There is a new broker for the property

    I wish Koi turned into an upscale sushi restaurant. I will take that over more luxury condos, all day long.
