Just checking in on 253 E. Seventh St., where there are approved permits for a 6-story residential building here between Avenue C and Avenue D.
As previously noted, the Issac & Stern-designed condoplex will house six residences (each roughly 1,500 square feet) ...
Workers demolished the former four-story residence that stood here back in late 2015. A look through the blogger portal doesn't show much, if any, new building construction action...

ReplyDeleteAlso, shouldn't the building come before the door? ;)
ReplyDeleteThis is virtually across the street from my apartment. I think a nice building in this location will be an improvement than its current empty space. I think the appreciation and mystery of the east village draws from the dichotomy of the old and new. While modern isn't always embraced by others, it isn't necessarily bad either. What it tends to symbolize is progression, movement and change. Let's hope it turns out beautifully.
ReplyDeletecan it be new and beautiful and affordable?
ReplyDeleteThe only reason that space is "currently empty" is because the Hottentot who bought the lovely little 4-story red brick building here tore it down and left a rubble-strewn lot in its place for, what, 18 months now?
ReplyDeletethat is a nice looking building for sure.
ReplyDeleteI hear work going on from that direction.
ReplyDeleteTheir 7th floor elevator utility room will block my apartment's remaining patch of sky, its 15 minutes of direct light, and our best source of ambient light.
