It has been four (whole!) months since our last post about the 9-story office building here between Eldridge and Forsyth. Back in March, workers had just planted the flag atop the steel structure.
Lots of progress since then, including the arrival of the window panes... 
Here's a look at the finished product via a rendering from the building's website...
And some marketing background:
From acclaimed architect Roger Ferris, the only new development of its type on the Lower East Side, 141 East Houston is a new frame for viewing the neighborhood. Column-free and unbounded by walls, it reinterprets the area through a bold geometric perimeter of cladding and glass. State-of- the-art workspaces and private terraces reframe expectations, while a well-connected location recasts perspectives.
With its glass frame and dynamic courtyard running the length of its eastern side, doubling as a second facade, 141 East Houston challenges the distinction between indoors and out.
East End Capital and K Property Group bought the property for $31.5 million in early 2017. The links below provide more background on what has transpired on the site of the former Sunshine Cinema (RIP January 2018).

• The 9-story boutique office building coming to the former Sunshine Cinema space
• A celebratory ad on the purchase of 139 E. Houston St., current home of the Sunshine Cinema
• The boutique office building replacing the Sunshine Cinema will be 'unbounded by walls' with an outdoor space called Houston Alley

"From acclaimed architect Roger Ferris, the only new development of its type on the Lower East Side" Let's hope it will be the only one.
ReplyDeleteYeah a "state of the art" glass box of an office building when WFH is the trend, and office space all over Manhattan can be had at a discount.
ReplyDeleteWTF would want to be sitting in this location, looking out?
"acclaimed architect Roger Ferris" Ha! A legend only in someone's deluded mind.
ReplyDelete"State-of- the-art workspaces and private terraces reframe expectations, while a well-connected location recasts perspectives."
ReplyDeleteOh, just stop with this BS.
@9:38am: But I'm sure they'd claim it's "artisanal" BS!
ReplyDeleteBroker-babble never fails to amuse and astonish.
Hideous.
ReplyDeleteMeanwhile, a ton of new space is already sitting unleased a few blocks south at Essex Crossing, and that dumb building on 14th will be done soon, as well. Unless something really odd happens (admittedly, this has been the decade for really weird stuff so far), there's going to be a total glut of office space in this area.
ReplyDeleteLooks better with the construction netting up.
