Construction watch: 650 E. 6th St.

Here's a progress report on the 6-story, 5-unit condoplex rising at 650 E. Sixth St. just west of Avenue C.

This project has been a long time in the making.

As New York Yimby noted in January 2016: "The 8,491-square-foot project will include 7,761 square feet of residential space, which means units will average 1,552 square feet apiece, indicative of condominiums."

The four-story apartment building that previously stood here was demolished in early 2018... two years after the condoplex plans were initially revealed. 

Combined Architecture has a rendering of the new building...
This will be the second new building in the corridor ... joining the one starting on the northeast corner of Sixth Street and Avenue C.

yay, Soviet housing style is back baby. Love the re-imagined ladder-less fire escapes or are those jailhouse balconies for lovers? Good or decent architecture doesn't need to be expensive one just needs someone with some skill.

Such inspiring architecture! So gray. Much edge.

No firescapes. Are firescapes a thing of the past?
