Not much seems to be happening over at 118 E. First St. between Avenue A and First Avenue... As previously noted, the existing structure is being demolished to make room for a 9-story residential building.
In total, there are seven units divided over 12,500 square feet of residential space, as NY Yimby first reported. (Given the size — about 1,800 square feet, NYY figures these will be condos.) There will also be about 250 square feet for retail.
The city approved the plans in November 2015.
In the meantime, this note appeared the other day on one of the windows...
"Please think about the darkness you are going to create with your development."
Freyer Architects are designing the building. We haven't seen any renderings yet (other than those zoning diagrams from our last post on this address).

Thanks to the 3 commenters for pointing out the the typo in the headline — I fixed it.
How will this create darkness? The shadow?
The Darkness...I'm thinking of the Neverending Story. I guess that was the "Nothing" but same idea.
One Ring to rule them all and in the darkness bind them.
I live next door and can confirm that nothing has happened here in months. They started and then just nothing.
Beware of darkness
Anybody else remember playing low stake poker in the garden level apartment?
