Workers have now removed the scaffolding and construction netting from the building, offering a better look at the "collection of four townhouse-style duplexes with direct, keyed elevator access and private outdoor spaces."
Foundation work started on this building in the spring of 2018.
Also yesterday, an EVG reader pointed out 118's pièce de résistance on the market ...
Tour de force of 118 E 1st, the penthouse triplex is a stunning space converging between a downtown industrial loft aesthetic that meets a modern architectural vision. Upon stepping off the elevator you are instantly awed by the 15’ ceilings with floor-to-ceiling windows. The dining room is set back with a stunning south-facing terrace, perfect for enjoying an indoor/outdoor environment while overlooking clear downtown views.
Asking price: $7.2 million. This includes Siberian Marble Herringbone heated flooring in the can bathroom.

It looks old and ugly.
The developers don't even try to make it work.
Anonymous' prediction was 100% correct.

We are losing so much of these older 3-5 floors Federal-style buildings. And the buildings that are going up are hideous. Maybe now is the time for creating a larger historic district, though much has already been lost.

OK you can cover it back up again, thanks. Nothing to see here.
Agree with the first commenter. Just when I think a new building can't be any uglier, I am proven wrong. This looks like a 1970s government outpost with abandoned a/c supports. FUGLY.
Stunningly ugly
This building looks like something left over from some Soviet era. You couldn't pay me to live there, seriously.
And, at a time of climate change and rising energy costs, you'd have to be pretty clueless to buy an apartment with 15-foot high ceilings, b/c you'll never be at the right temperature down at human-being level in those rooms. I'd be "awed" by the fact that the developer had actually made a ceiling that ridiculously high.
PS: Siberian marble must be a joke, b/c how would you ever know where the effing marble came from? Maybe from a place *called* "Siberian marble and tile" for all I know.
This really is an abomination...........It's like luxury housing from East Europe circa 1970. Maybe worse.....
YUCK!
...in the can. Haha.
Fugley
7.2 million for a view of Houston street. Noise and dirty air free!!
the aesthetic is meh brutalist out of place etc.. more disturbing is the prices so many new ugly buildings could have been ugly affordable housing if the community board/city would ever listen to the community and not landlords we desperately need affordable housing build it ugly just frikkin' build it we have more than enough lux housing go up in the last decade
It’s all about the giant window but what gives with a Oompa Loompa balconies?

I think you totally nailed it with that description!
The building belongs somewhere else (anywhere else, really). But hey, let's see which fools decide this is a great place to spend many millions of dollars so they can view Houston St. from their "floor to ceiling windows" (UGH!).
I feel like it looks pretty good now with the plants in now, we def need more green buildings in the city. Seems like a lot of people here don't understand how balconies work lol.
