The skyward-bound 21-story office building at 360 Bowery reaches the halfway mark

Workers are up to the 11th floor now here on the SW corner of the Bowery and Fourth Street ... which means they've passed the halfway mark on the 21-story, 110,000-square-foot office building with full-floor office suites. (See the final product here.)

Importantly, you can still make out part of Kendall Jenner's elbow on the mostly-obscured Marc Jacobs billboard ad...
... and the view from six blocks to the north...
This development replaces the single-level B Bar & Grill (1994-2020) on property that was previously a gas station.

The developers of this project within the Soho/Noho rezoning area are reportedly a collaboration between SK Development, Ironstate and CB Development.

    Wow! That is progress. This might even be complete by next spring? I live across from a residential apartment building development on 7th which seems to be moving at a glacial pace. I wonder if there are deadlines for various properties to be built in the city?

    When I look out my window
    Many sights to see
    Like a 50 foot Kendall
    Staring straight back at me

    Wait, 360 Bowery is going to be offices? I just looked this up. Isn't there a major glut of empty office space in the city?

    I really thought it was going to be housing (not *affordable* housing... but housing)

    @12:28 Dream on. Office space of course. No way would it be affordable housing. Cooper Union sold it to one of the Goode brothers, who then formed a partnership and got more predatory real estate developers involved. It is huge, boring, obviously not needed, and of course all about profit above all else. Not even well designed so it at least could be aesthetically pleasing. By the way, that building with the double billboard that faces north and south next to it? That was bought by the billboard company years ago solely to place the billboard.

    There are three kinds of lies that politicians tell: lies, despicable lies, and affordable housing …

    Incredible how dark that corner is going to be once that construction is complete.

    Sigh. So ugly, so unnecessary, so unwanted.
