A milestone of sorts at 360 Bowery, where workers have removed most of the construction elevator from outside the 22-story office building at Fourth Street.
We saw the first sign of the new development above the plywood about a year ago.
The developers of this project within the Soho/Noho rezoning area are a collaboration between Morris Adjmi Architects, CBSK Ironstate and AECOM-Canyon Partners.
This development — offering full-floor office suites — replaces the single-level B Bar & Grill (1994-2020) on the property, previously a gas station.
We need more tall buildings to replace the single story ones. I don't personally like this design but that is what makes this city great, the diverseness of the architecture. In My Back Yard PLEASE!!!!
ReplyDeleteThank God, more office space. Just what Manhattan needed.
ReplyDeleteYes, that's sarcasm.
WOW!! That is what I call progress.
ReplyDeleteI am sure the residents nearby who've had to endure its construction are elated that this is almost over.
7:41 AM the first real estate / developer employee to leave a comment this morning. I hope you wrote this while working from home office because the irony of your pro-office building comment is all the more ironic and ridiculous.
ReplyDeleteNo matter who the fine people of NYC elect for Mayor or city council, we will be sold out as they greedily take campaign cash from thees developers. The city of Yes is the latest huge lie they are using to convince us that New Yorkers of moderate means will be able to live here going forward. The truth is $4,000 studio apartments are already the norm.
Imagine if they'd used a color (or multiple colors) instead of that dreadful brown between the windows. That would give this building some life with minimal effort. Why is it that every new building is either dark battleship gray or the color of depression? My soul dies walking past this.
ReplyDeleteI only hope that they remove that damn green pedestrian walkway enclosure as soon as possible. That thing is disgusting to walk through as it is regularly used as a public toilet by the homeless and/or drunken citizens on a regular basis. I hate walking through there and often will take my chances walking on the street going down on the Bowery just to avoid it.
ReplyDeleteLol more office space. I get that offices want new spaces, but there's such high vacancy rates of office spaces. I don't know how this project was able to start. At the start of construction the writing was already on the walls.
ReplyDeleteApartments. We need housing. Not more offices.
I'll take battleship grey over shit-brown any day.
ReplyDeleteDoes this place have any tenants yet? Genuinely puzzled by adding office space here. Reminds me of the push to build ANOTHER two huge condo towers down in "Two Bridges" when the first one's units have lingered and lingered on the market. We need mass housing, not these follies. (On the other hand, I think Zero Irving is mostly leased, and I was very skeptical about that one, so maybe I'll be proven wrong.)
Hey first response real estate troll. Get a grip. More offices, much less such ugly and nondescript ones that sully and make a mockery of the term architecture? Building as peak exemplar of greed, complete lack of civic pride and profits over people.
ReplyDeleteI miss BBar :( Every time Sunday rolls around and I want brunch and I don't know where to go I think, man, if only BBar were still just a couple blocks away. It was such a great space and I'll never say no to free banana bread for the table! Would much rather have that than needed and unwanted office space. The fact that this land wasn't built on for affordable apartments instead truly boggles the mind.
