Rendering (and porta-potty) watch: 75 1st Ave.



Just a quick follow-up post about 75 First Ave., where an 8-story condoplex featuring 22 residences will rise here between Fifth Street and Fourth Street.

Renderings are up on the plywood... not a lot of detail, but you get the idea...




The building, designed by HTO-Architect, looks to be a cantilever ... taking up some space over the Rite Aid next door...



The big porta-potty is also off the Avenue (as seen in the top pic) ... though cyclists still need to veer into traffic to pass the site...





Since I took the top photos, workers have added a warning sign about construction in the bike lane.

this something new? Every construction site now goes into the street.

Unless they're making that building from logs, this doesn't count as construction. (Sorry, couldn't resist.)

the cantilever explains how the builders were able to but north facing window on this project. 1st Ave so far has not been condo-iced as the Aves to the west, let's hope this one is an anomaly and not a preview of what's to come.

DrBOP is on to something. This site has definitely been steadily going fascist for some time now.

Cyclists: It's okay to walk your bike for a minute if you don't want to ride into traffic. That's an advantage of bicycles. I'm a cyclist too.

A biker is going to get killed there. Even walking around there is perilous because you have to go in an active driving lane. Some selfish reckless prick might hit someone while speeding. It will have the effect of picking up a 7-10 split.

Great point 6:51! You can always stop. That is indeed a dangerous detour... if you ride mindlessly, which a lot of people do.
