Explosion site condoplex shapes up



Here's a look from yesterday at 45 E. Seventh St. at Second Avenue, where work on the explosion site condoplex continues (the job is in the approved category at the Essential Active Construction Site).

One noticeable addition: the bracing for the perforated cornice parapet ...



... that was so prominent in the rendering...

As noted previously, this high-profile project is on two of the three lots destroyed during the deadly gas explosion here on March 26, 2015.

The Morris Adjmi-designed building will include 21 condo units as well as ground-floor retail. Residential units are one, two and three bedrooms. The Tavivian Team from Douglas Elliman will be responsible for the sales.

You can find all the background about this project and its history at this link.

Good to see the cornice is going to happen.

It looks like a jail.

Considering that this corona lockdown may just be a test run for the future, yes you could consider house arrest, or condo arrest a form of jail.

Happy it's limited by height. Not the worst new building.

Ground floor retail! Whoop-de-do, can't get enough of that.
