The sidewalk bridge and scaffolding recently came down at the new 7-floor residential complex with 20 units — known as Novum EV — at 238 E. Third St. between Avenue B and Avenue C. (Thanks to Stacie Joy for the photo!)
Sales are still pending for the 1- and 2-bedroom units (and penthouse). Noted amenities on the plywood signage include a fitness studio and wet bar, outdoor recreation area, cold storage and triple glass exterior windows.
Workers demolished the previous building on the lot, a two-level structure once owned by the Blue Man Group, in the summer of 2019.
Novum EV is situated between the historic Nuyorican Poets Cafe and the great Rossy's Bakery & Café ... and across the street from the trouble-plagued Mariana Bracetti Plaza.

Holy cow, that went up fast. So what's the deal with all the other construction in the neighborhood that goes on for years?

ReplyDeleteHey anonymous at 9:09 am, I thought so too! Like an IUD that comes with a string of unwanted potential side effects. Say NO to Ovum.
ReplyDeleteI confused it with the cult group Nxivm.
ReplyDeleteWhat’s the update on this bldg? 3+ years later, zero occupancy. Are they in some kind of bldg code violation limbo?
