Treetops now visible above the plywood on lower 2nd Avenue

Here's the first glimpse of Treetops, the 10-story condoplex now rising above the plywood at 14 Second Ave. here between First Street and East Houston.

You actually get a better view from inside the adjacent First Street Green Art Park...
As we've been reporting, preliminary work on the full-floor luxury condo building started here in January 2019. The completion date is listed as July 2022.

This site has been vacant for years, last housing Irreplaceable Artifacts until its demolition by the city in July 2000. There's a lot of back story, which the links below cover...

    Full-floor luxury condos on one of the worst traffic intersections in the city. Gotta love it.

    I was curious to see how an article about why treetops becoming visible above the scaffolding was an issue but I guess it's just a condo. Sorry, my mistake.
