Residential rendering reveal at the former 9th Street parking garage

Workers have now installed the scaffolding and sidewalk bridge for the residential conversion of the former Little Man Parking garage (aka LaSalle Parking) on Ninth Street between Second Avenue and Third Avenue.

And the plywood now includes a rendering of the new residential structure... and not the most detailed one we've ever seen ...

Per previous reports, the new 74-foot-tall building will include 31,231 square feet of residential space, including 18 units and likely condos. Colberg Architecture is the architect of record. 

Part of the existing structure will be used in the conversion and vertical enlargement of five to six floors for residential use. 

The plywood rendering lists a Winter 2026 completion date.

The garage closed in April 2023 after the Department of Buildings issued a vacate order on the property following the deadly collapse at the Little Man garage on Ann Street in the Financial District. 

Per the DOB vacate order: "The occupied parking structure with concrete framing observed to be in a state of disrepair at several locations in cellar level... crushed column base observed at several locations in cellar level ... vertical cracks observed inside elevator shaft and on masonry walls." 

The address was offered as a "redevelopment project" in August 2023. 

According to public records and the TradedNY account, Arcus Development, operating through Astor Nine LLC, is the new owner of the vacant property.
