As previously reported, the residential building will include 11 units, a storefront and space for an unspecified community facility on this long-vacant corner. Not sure where the storefront will be — the Sixth Street side?
And still no sign of listings... maybe you've seen some?
A gas station was the last tenant here in the 1980s. And for decades it was an entertaining empty lot.
Looks like a prison block. Just missing a chain link fence and some razor wire.
ReplyDeleteSeems intentionally ugly.
ReplyDeleteWhoever designed this looked as though they failed their matchbook correspondence courses. It makes the "brutalism" style of design look inviting, and that's not easy to accomplish
ReplyDeleteHhhhmmm, should we nickname this one " The Cellblock @ C "?
ReplyDeleteWinner winner chicken dinner!!
DeleteIt's not as bad as it looks. At least the construction is complete. And we can get on with the rest of our lives. I reside around on the corner of C and 7th. As a resident of this community, I am hopeful this will provide affordable housing to others.
ReplyDeleteHonestly this is less ugly than I feared. Still not great but less bad. Glad it’s housing instead of an empty lot.
ReplyDeleteYou people are never happy, are you? Doesn't even have much glass.
ReplyDeleteOh my, SOVIET CHIC!
ReplyDeleteA Full Reveal post automatically means I hate it comments. More predictable than the tides.
ReplyDeleteBecause the developers/architects are predictably artless, tasteless, and cheap in their designs
DeleteThis is soviet east Berlin style. In EU they would never approve this in a major cosmopolitan city.
ReplyDeleteI mean...do you NOT hate it? Maybe it looks better in person, but this is grim. There is more than one way to be ugly.
ReplyDeleteUgly would even be tolerable in return for affordable housing, but with 11 units on 5 floors, this is almost certainly condos.
If I were a corrections officer this would be my dream job. Safer than Rikers, and within walking distance of endless bars for break times.
ReplyDeleteLove the positivity brimming from these comments.
ReplyDeleteResidential? I thought it was a subway ventilation system building.
ReplyDeleteWhen did brokers and publicists become such big EV Grieve fans?
ReplyDeleteWho's going to change all those exterior light bulbs?
ReplyDeleteMay not look nice but it's 11 units vs a "long-vacant corner". More housing = good. Period.
ReplyDeleteEnough already! This unit will provide housing. If you don't like it, don't live there.
ReplyDeleteLook at all of those comments recognizing the value of housing! Didn't even have to call me out improperly for normally making such comments
ReplyDeleteThe new curb cuts are ridiculous on that corner, and also every other corner of that intersection. Maybe a coincidence they were all redone at the same time as the construction corner. But, they seem to have missed the point altogether.
