Full reveal at 253 E7

We have a full reveal now at 253 E. Seventh St., the new 6-story condoplex — aka 253 E7 — here between Avenue C and Avenue D.



You can see how it stacks against the rendering...



Two of the units hit the market a few weeks back, as noted here.

Per the Streeteasy building description: There are "8 superbly appointed apartments with soaring 9’ ceilings, ranging in size from 709 to 1,653 square feet. Most apartments feature a private outdoor space and an allotted few have access to private keyed elevator landings. The Penthouse apartment boasts a private paved roof; the Townhouse apartment features a private grass planted garden."

The available units range in price from $1.275 million (one bedroom) to $2.795 million (three bedrooms).

Workers tore down the former four-story residence that stood here back in late 2015.

The first condos at 253 E7 hit the market

The all-new 253 E. Seventh St. is still shrouded in construction netting and scaffolding... however, the first two units in the 6-story condoplex here between Avenue C and Avenue D arrived on the market yesterday.

The building (rendering below) is going by 253 E7 (not to be confused with Seven East Village down the block) ...



Here's a description via Streeteasy:

A brand new, ultra-modern luxury boutique Condominium, designed by renowned master architects, Isaac & Stern. Located in Alphabet City in the heart of the East Village, one of New York City’s most desired and eclectic locations. 253 E7 [is] a six-story edifice featuring 8 superbly appointed apartments with soaring 9’ ceilings, ranging in size from 709 to 1,653 square feet. Most apartments feature a private outdoor space and an allotted few have access to private keyed elevator landings. The Penthouse apartment boasts a private paved roof; the Townhouse apartment features a private grass planted garden.

Here's a look at a rendering of a living room in 253 E7...



The available units range in price from $1.275 million (one bedroom) to $2.795 million (three bedrooms).

Workers demolished the former four-story residence that stood here back in late 2015.

Equipment watch: 253 E. 7th St.

A reader noted that a davey drill and other equipment recently arrived at 253 E. Seventh St. between Avenue C and Avenue D... where a 6-story residential building featuring six residences (each condo roughly 1,500 square feet) will rise.



This replaces a four-story residence that stood here until late 2015.

And on the other side of Seventh Street... we haven't heard much about No. 264 (the one on the left), the circa-1843 townhouse awaiting possible demolition... there's a "no trespassing" sign on the door...



In November, The New York Times reported:

Barbara Sloan, the operations manager at Manhattan Renovations, a general contractor representing GlobalServ, said the owner was planning an information session for neighbors “to discuss details surrounding potential asbestos abatement and demolition.”

As far as we know, such a meeting hasn't taken place to date.

Construction watch: 253 E. 7th St.

Just checking in on 253 E. Seventh St., where there are approved permits for a 6-story residential building here between Avenue C and Avenue D.

As previously noted, the Issac & Stern-designed condoplex will house six residences (each roughly 1,500 square feet) ...



Workers demolished the former four-story residence that stood here back in late 2015. A look through the blogger portal doesn't show much, if any, new building construction action...

The luxurious reveal of the future 253 E. 7th St.

[What's left of No. 253 as of Sept. 10]

As we first reported last month, the city signed off on permits for a new 6-story residential building at 253 E. Seventh St. between Avenue C and Avenue D.

Yesterday, New York Yimby got a look at the rendering via Issac & Stern Architects... incoming!



Per NYY:

The structure will span 10,466 square feet with six units averaging a spacious 1,498 square feet apiece. That is a strong indicator that this building will hold condos, and most units will have their own floors, including a penthouse on the sixth floor with its own private upper level.

Public records show that the property owner is an LLC going by DRK East 7th Street, who paid $5.7 million for the plot in a filing posted on Aug. 22.

This is the second new condo project to break ground on this block in the past few years ... joining Seven East Village, aka, 277 E. Seventh St. The Flowerbox condo building at No. 259 arrived in 2007.

[What's left of No. 253]

The city has signed off on permits for a new 6-story residential building at 253 E. Seventh St. between Avenue C and Avenue D.

As previously reported, workers demolished the former four-story residence here late last year. However, the new building plans never met with the city's approval. Then the developer, BSD Realty, filed new plans with Issac & Stern Architects designing the project.

In April, New York Yimby noted that the six residences here should average "a spacious 1,498 square feet apiece, indicative of condominiums."

There is also a penthouse unit. (Bit of a duh.)

The property also has a new owner. Public records show that an LLC going by DRK East 7th Street paid $5.7 million for the plot in a filing posted on Aug. 22.

Thanks to the EVG reader for the tip on this!

A demolition crew reduced the former four-story residence at 253 E. Seventh St. between Avenue C and Avenue D into a lot of rubble late last year.

Meanwhile, plans for a 6-story building with six residences never met with city approval.

Now the developer, BSD Realty, has filed new plans for the property. As New York Yimby first reported yesterday, the developers filed new plans this week with Issac & Stern Architects designing the project — another 6-story, 6-residential building with a penthouse... "its units should average a spacious 1,498 square feet apiece, indicative of condominiums." (Ramy Issac of Issac and Stern is well-known for many East Village projects, including 100 Avenue A and 154 Second Ave... and various penthouses.)

As we noted in February, the address is for sale. The listing is still active at the E Property Group website. Among the options here, per the listing: "Your dream custom mansion townhouse." But it looks as if a residential building is the plan.

At last look in November, the former four-story residence at 253 E. Seventh St. between Avenue C and Avenue D had been reduced to a pile of bricks.

An LLC with a Grand Street address bought the building in August 2014 for $4.3 million. The new owners had plans to put up a 6-story building with six residences on the property. However, the city has yet to approve those plans.

Now this empty property is for sale. It arrived on Streeteasy yesterday. Per the listing at the E Property Group:

Subject property is currently vacant land, & ready to go development site. Perfect for a:
• Boutique condo building
• Rental building,
• Your dream custom mansion townhouse

Prime Location:

Located on one of the east village’s most beautiful & serene tree-lined historic blocks. Preserved gardens to the west & north create a grand opportunity for lot-line & rear country like views. 1.5 blocks from Tomkins sq. park & just a few doors down from the magnificent flowerbox condos.

Pre-approved plans available for a high-end 6-unit condo building, EPA, & boring sample

The asking price is $6.25 million.

And here's a rendering of sorts that accompanies the listing...



Again, despite what the listing says, these plans haven't been approved by the city...

Over between Avenue C and Avenue D, the former four-story residence at 253 E. Seventh St. is no more...





An LLC with a Grand Street address bought the building in August 2014 for $4.3 million. The new owners have plans (waiting for final city approval) to put up a 6-story building with six residences on this now-empty lot.

Thanks to EVG reader Daniel Root for the demolition photos.

In July 2014, we reported that 253 E. Seventh St., a townhouse between Avenue C and Avenue D, was for sale.

The listing for the vacant, four-story building noted that the buyer could keep the existing structure and add floor area. Or! "The buyer could demolish the existing and structure and build a new ground-up development."

Well, as we noted previously, the buyer opted for plan B.

An EVG reader who lives nearby shared photos of the demolition underway… (Another neighbor noted that the asbestos removal started in late 2014.)



Per the reader: "Brick by brick, 253 East 7th Street disappears into history, clearing the way for luxury development."



There are permits pending approval at the DOB for a 6-story building with six residences.

The building exchanged hands in August 2014 for $4.3 million to an LLC with a Grand Street address.

Back in July, we noted that 253 E. Seventh St., a townhouse between Avenue C and Avenue D, was on the market.

The vacant building has air rights, and the listing noted that "the buyer could keep the existing structure and add floor area. Alternatively, the buyer could demolish the existing and structure and build a new ground-up development."

Looks as if the new owners have opted for the demolition route.

There is a new permit pending for a 6-floor residential building here.



Plans call for two residences plus a duplex penthouse for No. 253.

In early December, neighbors complained of illegal demolition at the site. (There aren't any demo permits on file just yet.)

The property changed hands for $4.3 million last August to an entity going by JKM 7 LLC.

There's a new listing for 253 E. Seventh St., a townhouse between Avenue C and Avenue D.

Let's check out the listing over at Massey Knakal:

The subject property is a 4-story vacant townhouse located on the north side of East 7th Street, between Avenues C & D. There are 4 floor-through units including a garden and parlor floor. The building is in an R8B zone with a residential FAR of 4.0 which would allow for a total buildable square footage of approximately 9,312 SF. The existing building is approximately 3,860 SF with an additional 5,451 SF of available air-rights. Therefore, the buyer could keep the existing structure and add floor area. Alternatively, the buyer could demolish the existing and structure and build a new ground-up development.

Whatever the option, this address will likely get much taller in the future.

Asking price: $4.25 million.
