Checking in on 644 E. 14th St.

Here's our first look in a few months at 644 14th St., the 24-story residential building on the SW corner of Avenue C. 

Workers are putting in the façade of terracotta panels and staggered floor-to-ceiling windows...

The 234-foot-tall building from Madison Realty Capital, called 14+C, will include 197 residential units, "a state-of-the-art fitness room," a yoga studio, and a rooftop deck. Information about the number of "affordable" units included in 14+C, one of the stipulations for being allowed to build a more extensive (by nine floors) building, has not been made public. There will also be ground-floor retail.

There have also been no updates on the status of the residents of the neighboring 5-story building at 642 E. 14th St., many of whom were in rent-stabilized units. The building was abruptly vacated in November 2023 after foundation work next door reportedly destabilized it. 

The full demoliton order from 642's landlord remains on hold from last summer. (This Times feature has more info from November.)
