There's a new listing for 743 E. Sixth St., a three-story building between Avenue C and Avenue D.
According to the listing, the property is vacant ... and features a garage-studio on the ground level (the former Manny's Auto Repair) ... and a single-family residence on the second and third floors. (This PDF of the property includes some interior shots.)
Per Cushman & Wakefield: "This is a perfect opportunity for a user or developer. There are also 4,430 square feet of air rights available allowing for a buyer to build up and/or extend back."
Asking price: $4.5 million.
Makes sense. Buildings like this should be sold and redeveloped. I'm sure someone will complain about how tearing down this building will hurt the neighborhood though.
ReplyDeleteA building with it's own garage! Grab it, someone!
ReplyDeleteAs a youngster, before his family moved to Yorkville, Jimmy Cagney lived in the building that stood to the left of this one....
ReplyDeleteWhy can't the rich people buy buildings limke this to turn into mcmansions and not buildings full of rent stabilized apts? Answer: because you want to kill 2 birds with one stone 1. destroy affordable housing by any means and 2. have another property to stash some debt against.
ReplyDeletei find this building appealing, graffiti and all, and wish i could afford it!

ReplyDeleteWell there goes that nice little building. And you're right, @Neighbor, its loss *will* hurt the neighborhood, substituting yet another featureless prefab box for upscale morons for a small, charming, scale-friendly brick edifice that has withstood decades of use, abuse, and abandonment. You obviously don't care - many of us who have lived in and loved the EV for decades do.
