Renovations continue on the SW corner of Avenue C and Fifth Street, the longtime home of a laundromat.
The Avenue C Laundromat was expected to close whenever the owner sold the property at 69 Avenue C. There was speculation that the two-story building would be demolished for some kind of new residential development. Who buys a laundromat and keeps it a laundromat!?
Well, according to TradedNY this past July, Hildreth Real Estate Advisors bought the property from Gwangil Kim for $3.4 million.
And the business will remain a laundromat — called My Sunny Laundry.
Here's a look at the ongoing renovations from recent days ... including a new Pepsi machine...

Housing would be a much better use of this property
This is great!! That laundromat is in desperate need of new machines.
Laundromats are necessary businesses! For many of us, we do not have laundry in the building and rely on laundromats. Sure, housing would be nice, but a laundromat supports the people in the immediate neighborhood.
Placeholder. Real estate is a long game. When the market brings the right amount around it'll be a hole in the ground and then a glass tower. Which is fine. Until then always good to have another laundry in the neighborhood.
Is there a projected reopening date?
