Sidewalk bridge signage arrived this past week about the full-floor residences...
Previously on EV Grieve:
• Workers remove artifacts from the vacant 14 2nd Ave., fueling speculation of new development
• Development watch: 14 2nd Ave.
• Vacant lot at 14 2nd Ave. sells for $7 million; will yield to 10-floor condoplex
• More about Treetops, the name of the condoplex coming to 14 2nd Ave.
Nothing too exciting. Some legalese about the development, "The complete offering terms are in an Offering Plan available from Sponsor. File # CD21-0103" etc. No sign of floor plans, descriptions of the, say, Siberian Marble Herringbone heated flooring in the closets, pricing, etc.
As we've been reporting, preliminary work on the luxury condo building started in January 2019, and 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...

When there was no building on that corner, the summer showings were memorable, with Saturn high in the constellation Virgo, and people coming out of the F-train station and forming long lines. Now Saturn is down about 15 degrees below the celestial equator, and you have to get up in the wee hours of the morning to see it at all.

2nd Avenue Star Watchers 2014
Irreplaceable Artifacts was an amazing store with an array of fantastic architectural objet d’art, if I recall correctly the south side of the store literally collapsed into the park space in between the store and Houston
ReplyDeleteWasn't Irreplaceable Artifacts originally located across Houston, where Whole Foods and that apartment complex now stand? They used to have two huge statues of cats sitting outside their main entrance, if I remember correctly.
ReplyDelete"Full-Floor Residences" so these units will be expensive. No more Mars Bar across 2nd Ave. Would not want to live there because of the street traffic and noise. Houston and 2nd Ave is a major intersection, everyone wanting to make left turns. And there are a lot of trucks. At least the building supposedly won't be in danger of falling to pieces. This was a long time coming and there have been many new luxury buildings in that immediate area over the last 15 years making it a Yuppie utopia of sorts.
ReplyDeleteI wish Godzilla would pay a visit to our neighborhood and just focus on the new tall hideous structures. Yo ‘Zilla, pay special attention to the glass structures that are killing our birds.

ReplyDeleteFrom this we learn that the building uses gas (huh?? for a new building??), apartments are 1400-1600 sqf with private terraces only for the penthouse units, and offering prices between 2.7M and 3.8M. Given the small size of the apartments, this is a terrible value even by nearby similar building standards.
