New development (Stella!) at Houston and Avenue C finally sheds its sidewalk bridge

Construction is past the four-year mark now at 11 Avenue C (aka 350 E. Houston St.) where work continues at this new 10-story residential building ... one notable milestone — the sidewalk bridge has been removed from around the triangular-shaped property... 
And it turns out the building has a name — Stella ... as seen now above the main entrance on Second Street...
Stella joins the other newer residential buildings nearby bearing a single name — The Adele and The Robyn

And here are a few more views of Stella, where some renters will have a balcony and floor-to-ceiling window views of East Houston and Avenue C ...
BLDG Management is the developer behind the project, which will feature 46 residential units and ground-floor retail. Still no word on pricing or availability just yet.

Foundation work began in December 2016 here on this lot that housed the neighborhood's last gas station. The well-worn plywood rendering lists a March 2018 completion date. Why the delay? 
Architect of record Rotwein+Blake previously stated that "the narrow triangular site presented numerous challenges from its odd shape to zoning constraints."


... and a 2011 flashback...
