Checking in on 79-89 Avenue D, the 12-story retail-residential building nearing completion here between Seventh Street and Sixth Street.
As previously reported, the project by L+M Development Partners will include 110 apartment units (rentals!), 22 of which will be permanently affordable. Amenities will include a fitness center, landscaped roof deck and an outdoor terrace.
The address was previously one-level storefronts that included a Rite Aid, which relocated one block north to the ground floor of the Arabella 101 building. Rite Aid signed a lease to return to the retail space at No. 79.
...and here's a look at the Sixth Street side...

ReplyDeleteWOW, this isn't the Avenue D I remember growing up there. Appearances are deceiving. I still have faith that it is as dangerous as ever.
ReplyDeleteSorry to burst your bubble but the crime on avenue D isn't targeted at the newcomers.
ReplyDeleteI'm sure it is, Anonymous; we can hope.
