260 Bowery soon to be set free

Last Wednesday, we looked at the groan-worthy new rendering for the currently vacant Amato Opera building ...

There's also a newish rendering for 260 Bowery ... currently the Standard Sheetmetal Fabrication Corp., which we discussed back in May.

Before!

Now!

You have been liberated!

A quick look at the Bowery south of Houston

Over at 250 Bowery, just a little south of Houston, work continues on the new luxury condos that will include penthouses starting at $2.7 million, as Curbed has been reporting.

And they'll be an Anthropologie anchoring the retail space...

The future... (at night, anyway) ...

BoweryBoogie summarized the lot's recent history here.

Meanwhile, next door at 260 Bowery, there's the doomed Standard Sheetmetal Fabrication Corp.

The building remains on the market...

No price mentioned at RKF ... Per the updated listing, there's "great branding potential" and "Interior walls can be demised." (We'll say!)

Wonder how much longer before all the supply shops north toward Pulino's on the corner will remain where they are no longer welcome ...
