Remembering Rothstein's Hardware on the LES with free posters

The single-level buildings along 50-62 Clinton St. between Stanton and Rivington are ready to make way for luxury condominiums.

Rothstein's Hardware, which has been serving the Lower East Side for more than 60 years, was one of the displaced businesses. Raymond Rodriguez, the store's owner since 1981, was able to find new space at 106 Ridge St.

Upon hearing about the store having to leave its longtime home, LES resident Rachel Zaretsky, the great granddaughter of the original owner, took photos of the interior ... and made newsprint posters of the space for anyone who may like to have one.

Via email, she tells us: "They are free and I'd like to offer anyone who cares a chance to look at a place that no longer exists ... that had some significance to me and the neighborhood."

She will be outside 52 Clinton St. this afternoon from 2-5 with the posters. (There's a Craigslist ad about this here.)

Here's what the inside of the luxury condos at 50 Clinton St. will look like

An EVG reader sent us this photo last Thursday showing the newly arrived sidewalk bridge along the soon-to-be-demolished 50-62 Clinton St. between Stanton and Rivington.

As previously reported, 7 stories featuring 37 luxury residences will rise from the single-floor row of storefronts that once included noted chef Wylie Dufresne's WD-50.

Now today, Curbed got the first look at the new teaser site for the condos. Take a gander at what awaits, including soft-looking towels in the bathroom ...





Per the 50 Clinton St. site, one-bedroom units will start at $975,000, two-bedroom homes are priced at $1.75 million and "penthouses in glass and with amazing city views at $3M." There will also be a doorman, gym and "lush gardens and rooftops terraces."

And last we saw... here's the final Ramy Isaac rendering ...

Back in March we first caught the renderings for the new luxury residences headed to the single-floor row of storefronts at 50-62 Clinton St. between Stanton and Rivington.

Today, the Daily News and Real Estate Weekly have more details about just how luxurious: The condos will start around $1 million for a one bedroom, $2 million for a two bedroom and $3 million for a three bedroom.

Via Real Estate Weekly:

“The project’s defining elements are its smaller-sized units and moderate price points, all without compromising on design or quality,” said Dan Hollander, managing principal of DHA Capital.

Here's the updated rendering...

Developer Icon Realty filed plans yesterday for the new retail-residential complex coming to 50-62 Clinton St.

According to New York Yimby, architect Ramy Isaac's building will total 37,868 square feet — good for 37 residences. Plans also call for 1,836 square feet of commercial space.



Despite the plans, one remaining tenant, Wylie Dufresne's wd~50, appears to be staying put. When asked about it last week, he told Grub Street, "We're fine. We're not going anywhere! Don't worry."

BoweryBoogie first reported this impending new construction between Stanton and Rivington back in January.

The businesses in the single-level building along 50-62 Clinton St. have cleared out in recent months ahead of some new, unspecified development. (BoweryBoogie first reported this impending new construction between Stanton and Rivington back in January.)

The Lo-Down has an update about one of the tenants along this corridor:

While the sale included the building housing acclaimed restaurant WD-50, a spokesperson for chef Wylie Dufresne told The Lo-Down he has no plans to leave the building before his lease expires in a couple of years.
