Some seven months after the "condos coming soon" banner was unveiled at 265 E. Houston St., developer Central Construction Management has put a few of the condoplex units on the market. (H/T Curbed and BuzzBuzzHome!)
There are three two-bedroom, two-bathroom units available, ranging from $2.45 million to $2.55 million. (There are seven units total in this 10-floor building.)
Here's the pitch, via Streeteasy:
Ideally located in Lower East Side Manhattan, this spectacular collection of apartments are finished to the highest standard with exquisite Italian Carrara marble and white oak flooring throughout. Private keyed elevators lead directly into each residence, where refined design, spacious floor plans, and a modern neutral color palette perfectly meld minimalist style with contemporary luxury.
With oversized windows, sleek living areas, private outdoor spaces, and expansive common roof top terraces boasting dramatic views of the city, these stylish homes effortlessly embody the sophistication of Lower East Side living.
A tranquil escape from the city, the elegant master bathrooms offer a peaceful space to luxuriate. Smooth Carrara marble walls and floors are complemented by pure white Robern cabinetry, bespoke recessed medicine cabinets, and jet black rainshowers with attached shower heads. The ergonomic double-sinks and marble-enclosed Kohler tubs are fitted with black faucets crafted by local manufacturers Watermark Designs. Secondary baths are finished with glossy white Nemo tile and Restoration Hardware cabinetry.
The corner was home to the Iglesia Pentecostal Arca de Salvacion (below). In 2008, developer 265 East Houston LLC purchased the plot for $500,000, public records show.

Work at 265 E. Houston St. (aka 179 Suffolk St.) dates to early 2010. As you may recall, construction in the pit conveniently destabilized the building next door at No. 255, which caused Action for Progress to vacate.
Speaking of next door... Not much construction action here just yet...
Developer Samy Mahfar, the property's owner, has approved plans for a 10-story residential complex that will look like...
But for now...

Is that a new "white collar" minimum security urban prison?
Not a whit of charm
"In 2008, developer 265 East Houston LLC purchased the plot for $500,000, public records show."
What a bunch of suckers. $500,000 is like a corn on their toe. They probably squandered it in one night shooting craps in Atlantic City.
"Sophisticated living on the lower Eastside"? This has to be for out of towners - like China out of town because nobody who lives in the metro area would believe that "sophisticated" and" living" go along with lower Eastside.
Only $2.5 million? I wouldn't think of living in such a slum! Everyone knows that decent housing starts at $6 million.
Attached shower heads!!! Can't find those anywhere!
Oh yes, the sight of inebriated Millennials stumbling around Hell Square and its environs, whooping, hollering, pausing occasionally to vomit, fighting, screaming, is the height of sophistication and urban/urbane suavity. Bryan Ferry is readying his checkbook to buy into the "ergonomic double-sink" lifestyle as I type this.
"Ideally located on the Lower East Side." I mean, where else would you want it located?
How funny and pathetic would it be if they recruited low-to-mid-level celebrities to live in units rent-free in order to attract buyers?
"The sophistication of LES living" LOLOLOLOLOLOL if someone spends that much money and actually believes that I feel bad.
I wish one of these real-estate propagandist would be honest, "okay we know it's over priced and the neighborhood lacks public transit so don't forget to add $25,000 for Uber costs, this is purely speculative and if you are lucky you can dump it before the next (and there will be another) real-estate crash. C'mon how many mid-range building can we build until the market is flooded and most people are priced out. This place is bland intentionally since anything cool or truly sophisticated only appeals to a small number of people (usually poor artistic types) but don't worry someone will take it off your hands in a few years, leave you a profit and you move to the far east for the dream job in high finance or move to Monclair to raise your new baby.
