Karl Fischer-designed condoplex comes into full view on East 12th Street

Over at 427 E. 12th St. between Avenue A and First Avenue, the Karl Fischer-architected condos are free of the construction netting, the sidewalk bridge, etc. And — ta da!



And according to Streeteasy, nine of the 10 units — that range in price from $850,000 for a one-bedroom home to $2.395 for the penthouse — are in contract.

Karl Fischer-designed condos seem to be a big draw on East 12th Street

Karl Fischer-designed condos seem to be a big draw on East 12th Street

[Yesterday]

The listings went live in late June for 427 E. 12th St., home of the Karl Fischer-architected condos between Avenue A and First Avenue... There's still work left to do here, as you can see.

In any event, there are 10 units that range in price from $850,000 for a one-bedroom home to $2.395 for the penthouse. And for some reason we looked at Streeteasy and saw that of the eight units on the market, five were already in contract.



Not sure what the big draw is here (epoxy finishes?) ... Nice amenities, sure.


[Some day at 427]

To the listing:

Residences feature sleek concrete floors with epoxy finishes and floor to ceiling double pane windows. Several residences are complimented with a private outdoor space that range in size. The custom designed chefs kitchen is finished with walnut veneer and satin lacquer cabinetry, Caesar stone countertops, back painted glass, and is fully equipped with stainless steel appliances by Fischer & Paykel. Bathrooms are appointed with oversized bathtubs, custom built vanities, glass enclosed frameless showers, and Duravit & Kohler fixtures throughout.

At any rate, residences will need those double pane windows during the impending construction at Douglas Steiner's massive new development down the block.

Work continues at the Karl Fischer-architected 427 E. 12th St. between Avenue A and First Avenue... However, the listings appeared Friday on Streeteasy. There are 10 units that range in price from $850,000 for a one-bedroom home to $2.395 for the penthouse.

And the description:

With its retail diversity, restaurant density, proximity to NYU, Cooper Union and all that downtown has to offer, the East Village is a mecca for artists, musicians, students, and writers. The centerpiece of the neighborhood is the popular Tompkin’s Square Park, which hosts music events and the year round Greenmarket that supports local farmers every Sunday

And some renderings...







We've been following this one through the years... there were some issues. In a previous look in early 2012, there were support braces in the muddy (and long-dormant) pit to help prop up 425 E. 12th Street... and complaints to the DOB about the construction causing "damage to phone lines at 429 E. 12th St. and cracks in bathroom walls."

Checking in on 427 E. 12th St., future home of a 6-floor Karl Fischer-designed apartment building

We haven't checked in on 427 E. 12th St. since February 2012. This is the six-story Karl Fischer-designed apartment building that we first mentioned back in July 2011.

At last look in early 2012, there were support braces in the muddy (and long-dormant) pit to help prop up 425 E. 12th Street... and complaints to the DOB about the construction causing "damage to phone lines at 429 E. 12th St. and cracks in bathroom walls."

These days, the building appears has finally reached that sixth floor, and looking like this...









DOB documents show two units each on floors two through five, with one apartment on the sixth floor... there's also mention of a "recreational area" on the roof.

When we last looked in on 427 E. 12th St., the future home of a six-level Karl Fischer-designed apartment building, workers had planted some support braces in the pit to help prop up its neighbor to the west...

Now, as EV Grieve reader Greg Masters notes in these photos, work is under way ...

This spot had been dormant for several years.

Meanwhile, according to the DOB, a caller on Feb. 10 says that the construction "has caused damage to phone lines at 429 E. 12th St. and cracks in bathroom walls."

Support for Karl Fischer's 427 E. 12th St.

Just noting this as part of our ongoing coverage of 427 E. 12th St., future home of a 6-level Karl Fischer-designed apartment building, as we first reported on July 21.

Anyway, there are now support braces in the pit to help prop up 425 E. 12th Street...

According to the DOB, the most recent complaint here was dated Nov. 22, when a caller noted: "While doing work at above location, the top part of the adjacent building has separated walls due to this work."

'Tis the season for coming back from the dead ... Let's see, we mentioned 401 E. Eighth St. yesterday ... and 75 First Ave. earlier this summer.

Now! That long-dormant pit also-known-as 427. E. 12th St. across from the East Side Community School is primed for a six-story, 11-unit residence designed by Montreal-based architect Karl Fischer, who is behind several overly luxurious condos on the Bowery. (The Observer has details on his latest at 255 Bowery.)

Like with the two Bowery properties, Shaky Cohen is the developer at 427 E. 12th St., according to DOB records.

We didn't find any renderings at the Fischer website... but here's what 263 Bowery looks like (at least as of last fall) via BoweryBoogie:
