Incoming office building makes first appearance above the plywood at 141 E. Houston

Steal beams, the first above-ground signs of the office building going up at 141 E. Houston St., are now visible from the construction site here between Eldridge and Forsyth...

This will eventually be a 9-floor building that the developers describe like this:

From acclaimed architect Roger Ferris, the only new development of its type on the Lower East Side, 141 East Houston is a new frame for viewing the neighborhood. Column-free and unbounded by walls, it reinterprets the area through a bold geometric perimeter of cladding and glass. State-of- the-art workspaces and private terraces reframe expectations, while a well-connected location recasts perspectives. 

With its glass frame and dynamic courtyard running the length of its eastern side, doubling as a second facade, 141 East Houston challenges the distinction between indoors and out.

East End Capital and K Property Group bought the property for $31.5 million in the spring of 2017.
