Work has moved quickly since the steel frame made its first street-level appearance back in early July.
The rendering shows a June 2024 completion date.

Reaching the top at 1 St. Mark's Place

This building is such a mistake. It makes the entrance to St. Marks place look ominous and from my view on 9th Street, it blocks a huge portion of the sky in this direction. When they tear down and develop the garage on 9th we'll have no sky at all. I don't rail new construction often but man, what I miss.
PS
It literally looks like a mudslide.
Horrible addition to our neighborhood
It’s just jarring when you approach from this direction
I truly hate it
I would have taken basically any other type of development here over an office/retail space. Give me the same footprint of luxury apartments even! At least that’s *maybe* helpful to housing supply. Only silver lining I guess is that the sidewalk here may actually soon be traversable.
That is what we call progress. I can't believe how quickly it is coming together.
Not happy this is here, but I'll take it over the Death Star and the RM Astor Place condoany day. It has somewhat of a Starret-Lehigh Art Deco feel to it, unlike those other two, which have no relation to anything historic or beautiful.
It is disgraceful how zoning laws have been dismissed over the last bunch of years. You knew that once they allowed the first tall hideous structure, it was the beginning of the end. Shameful.
I'll reserve judgement until I see the finished product but it's a hell of a lot nicer looking the douchey looking NYU dorm buildings which it abuts.
That's a Cooper Union dorm next door.
Office space? Isn't Manhattan office space under-occupied? Real estate plays a long game but building into a glut?
Oh well. I gave up between the time Colony closed and when a ground floor ATM on Cooper Square was someone's prescient vision of future culture. Maybe the office space will lay fallow and we'll get some strange temp popups. And another CVS on the ground floor for the shoplifting hoards.
That and the Death Star have ruined Astor Place. Thank you Progress and Greedy developers!
1 word: Gross
