123 Third Ave. has glass

Here we are at "East Union Square," where workers started putting in the glass Friday...




Still waiting for that sales center, though...

Easy as 123 eeeeeeeeeee

We were watching a worker up on 123 Third Ave. at 14th Street the other day ... he was wearing a safety harness and everything ... Still, given our fear of heights, seeing this made us a little queasy...

123 Third Ave. shows its yellow belly

Still no sign of that "coming soon" sales office, though... 14th Street and Third Avenue.

123 Third Avenue ramps up its marketing efforts with an ad facing away from traffic

There's a new ad up for 123 Third Avenue, the high-rise condo on Third Avenue and 14th Street. (Or, "East Union Square"...) The ad promises the sale center is coming soon... The 123 Web site still says sales office "opening late fall 2009."



Anyway, seems like kind of an odd spot for an ad -- especially given that it faces away from the traffic on the one-way 10th Street between Fourth Avenue and Third Avenue...



Anyway, this 19-story, 47-unit condo will include a ground-floor garden and outdoor movie screen. The developer of 123 is Orange Management, which currently has its hands full with the 22 Renwick property...

Late night with 123 Third Ave.

Onward and upwards at 123 Third Ave. and 14th Street. The new 18-story glassy condo continues to take shape... still no information on the 123 Web site or details on a sales office, though.

Oh, 123 Third Ave. does have a Web site...

Oh, lordy somehow I missed this... I only noticed the phone number... so when we can finally read about the faboo amenities coming to this skyscraping condo at 14th Street and Third Avenue...And what's on the site?



Not much yet!



So the sales office opens later this fall... and you can register now for the "priority list." Priority over what unit you want overlooking an NYU dorm?

Easy as...123 Third Ave. rises

At the same time we notice that the new 18-story glassy condo is finally (and quickly) taking some shape on the southeast corner of 14th Street and Third Avenue...




(No Web address listed. But a phone number. Handy!)



...the Times comes along with a piece saying that basically all of 14th Street east of Third Avenue is pretty much doomed now. As the paper notes rather ominously.

Still, the stretch bordering the East Village, east of Third Avenue, existed as a relative time capsule. Discount clothing stores still dot blocks as they did when the area was a popular middle-class shopping district, side by side with 100-year-old brick tenements.

But stirrings of change are noticeable in the neighborhood, say brokers, business leaders and developers, many of whom are betting that renewal will continue its march along 14th Street.

A 19-story condominium rising at Third Avenue from the site of a former tanning salon may be a sign.

The article goes on to say how much the condos will cost, that a Capital One is going in the retail space on the ground level, etc. Doomed as doomed can be.

Stopping work at 123 Third Ave.

This past weekend, I noticed a "stop work order" had been slapped on the new bank/condo tower now under way on the southeast corner of 14th Street and Third Avenue.
