Core workout: New building prep on 1st Avenue and 2nd Street

A Davey Drill is now in the house on the lot, taking core samples ahead of construction on the NW corner of First Avenue and Second Street. 

There are now approved (as of early December) work permits for a 7-story residential building with ground-floor retail. According to DOB paperwork, the building will be 19,278 square feet, with 2,994 square feet designated for commercial space. Plans call for 22 residential units, likely rentals based on the square footage. 

This EVG post provides more background on the former 33-37 First Ave assemblage. This post has a schematic showing the new building.

The new building uses the address 88 E. Second St., a development to watch in 2025.
