And it turns out the building has a name — Stella ... as seen now above the main entrance on Second Street...
Stella joins the other newer residential buildings nearby bearing a single name — The Adele and The Robyn.
And here are a few more views of Stella, where some renters will have a balcony and floor-to-ceiling window views of East Houston and Avenue C ...
Foundation work began in December 2016 here on this lot that housed the neighborhood's last gas station. The well-worn plywood rendering lists a March 2018 completion date. Why the delay? Architect of record Rotwein+Blake previously stated that "the narrow triangular site presented numerous challenges from its odd shape to zoning constraints."
BLDG Management is the developer behind the project, which will feature 46 residential units and ground-floor retail. Still no word on pricing or availability just yet.

The gas station was far more of a necessity and service provider in this neighborhood than this multi-colored piece of dreck could ever be.
maybe a gas station could get some of that ground floor retail space for old times sake. something like the Mobil station on W. 96th st near the west side highway entrance
Oy. I live across the street from the STELLA building. It'll be 6 years in January that the fencing went up to begin this project. They had lots of issues with construction.
We used to have lots of sunshine and great views of the sky. Oh well. After the metal awning went up last week revealing its name I've been hearing people screaming "Stella!!" as they walk past. More fun to come.
Lived in BLDG Mangement building in the Bronx and they were terrible. They treated the tenants terribly. And they did not live up to their name. Maybe they treat their tenants in new buildings differently.
