[What's left of No. 253 as of Sept. 10]
As we first reported last month, the city signed off on permits for a new 6-story residential building at 253 E. Seventh St. between Avenue C and Avenue D.
Yesterday, New York Yimby got a look at the rendering via Issac & Stern Architects... incoming!
Per NYY:
The structure will span 10,466 square feet with six units averaging a spacious 1,498 square feet apiece. That is a strong indicator that this building will hold condos, and most units will have their own floors, including a penthouse on the sixth floor with its own private upper level.
Public records show that the property owner is an LLC going by DRK East 7th Street, who paid $5.7 million for the plot in a filing posted on Aug. 22.
This is the second new condo project to break ground on this block in the past few years ... joining Seven East Village, aka, 277 E. Seventh St. The Flowerbox condo building at No. 259 arrived in 2007.

As I walked past the 14th Street development this am, I wondered if developers have to establish that there is a demand for all of this housing - especially at these price points. And we're just one neighborhood!
Yes - all the charm and luxury of a Lego construction, although not as colorful. And bayou makes an excellent point. When does the well of privileged tools finally run dry?
Beautiful. Appears they incorporated some elements from the neighborhood and didn't do just a pure glass tower. Love the progress in the neighborhood!
Great. This sucks. I live across the street from this. The noise, dirt, and people are going to drive me and others nuts.
Wonderful wonderful!! Higher property taxes for politicians (including Rosie M) to waste on their ill conceived EV "improvement" projects.

"Improvement projects". What?! Where?!
Progress. HA! Shill.
how do ppl live SO FAR from subway and pay these prices???
I like it. Looks like it would have a lot of natural light. I'm sure I can't afford it, but I'm not going to have a bout of sour grapes about it.
The before is equally as hideous.
Don't worry, someone will buy these apartments and turn them into Air BnB rentals.
Looks nice fits in with the Flower Box building and condo next to the girls club..all the negatives build nothing and produce nothing...
What's wrong with the flowerbox building?
@9:54. What a DT esque generalization. You have no idea who people are here, what they "produce" or "build". Many people contribute to the good of NYC. LUXURY CONDOS are not the sole criteria. Don't ever forget that.

But the AirBnB renters are going to complain about how far it is from everything! ("How do I get to Time [sic] Square from heah?")
I prefer the old building.
