1 St. Mark's Place enters its blue phase

Whenever we post something about the 22-story building at 360 Bowery, people inevitably ask about the other new office project four blocks to the north. 

So here's a look at the 9-story office building on the NE corner of Third Avenue and St. Mark's Place (we've seen alternative addresses for 1 St. Mark's Place and 3 St. Mark's Place). 

Currently, the east-facing wall is covered in some sort of blue construction materials...
... the color reminded us a bit of a former heralded (and long-gutted) building at 19-23 St. Mark's Place...
Per its rendering, 1 St. Mark's Place has a July 2024 completion date. 

More back story here.

Of all the EV blocks lost to hyperdevelopment, this one really pains me.

OMG! A monstrosity. I guess the housing crisis is over since a developer has the deposable income to build an empty office building when “95 million square feet of New York City office space is currently unoccupied” according to CBS News.

Which of our concerned LES legislators did anything to stop or slow down the explosion of ugly office towers and out of price condos that have occurred the past two years?
