Full FULL reveal on 1st Street, Avenue A and the Bowery

Workers recently removed the remaining sidewalk bridges and construction netting to provide full Full reveals at three new developments...

64 E. First St.



There are six, full-floor residences here between First Avenue and Second Avenue ... at the site of the former horrible hookah hotspot LaVie.

The website for 64 East — located [heh] in the "Bowery District" — shows that only one unit (just under $3.3 million) remains for sale. David Schwimmer reportedly just checked out a unit here for a possible bachelor pad.

438 E. 12th St. (aka Steiner East Village)



There's a full FULL reveal on the 11th Street and Avenue A sides of developer Douglas Steiner's Steiner East Village... the 12th Street side still remains under wraps...



The 7-story, 82-unit building officially at 438 E. 12th St. features homes starting at $1.1 million. There are currently seven units listed as available at the Steiner East Village website. Amenities include a 24-hour lobby concierge, 50-foot-long pool, spa, gym, library, etc.

There is, at the moment, some address chaos on the sidewalk bridge...



Steiner bought the former Mary Help of Christians property in 2012 from the Archdiocese of New York for $41 million.

319 Bowery



The sidewalk bridge is gone from outside 319 Bowery, undergoing a condo conversion after 45 years as the Amato Opera here between First Street and Second Street. (This four-story brick building was a cigar factory from 1899 to 1926.)

We recently noted that the retail space here is asking $34,995.

The developer is Steven Croman, who's facing suits in both civil and criminal court.

New condos at 64 E. 1st St. exposed

Workers have removed the scaffolding and construction netting from 64 E. First St., showing off the building that the marketing materials say "stylishly pays homage to the nearby iconic Williamsburg and Manhattan Bridges."

Here's a look at the rendering...



The site for 64 East — located [eyeroll] in the "Bowery District" — shows that two units are svailable in the $3.3 million neighborhood. (For what it's worth, the Post recently noted that Seth Rogen and his wife Lauren Anne Miller Rogen recently checked out a home here.) In total, there are six, full-floor residences here between First Avenue and Second Avenue.

This lot previously housed LaVie, the horrible hookah hotspot that closed for good in June 2013 after a protracted battle with the SLA.

The teaser site for the six, full-floor residences now includes interior renderings and pricing for the units.

Rounding up or down a little, the home prices vary from $3.2 to $3.9 million. (Of the three units listed, one is in contract. It's not clear if the other homes have already been called for.)

Some descriptions from the website:

With its open-plan living, kitchen and dining concept, window walls that allow abundant natural light to pour in, and ceiling heights maximized by revealing the structural beams, the interiors of 64 East are defined by an incredible sense of expansiveness.

And!

A consummation of modern innovation and sleek style, bathrooms at 64 East are an inviting haven of clean simplicity and surprising dimension, with classic design elements like subway tiles, floating cabinetry, and gleaming, all-nickel plumbing fittings with cross handles and escutcheon plates from Waterworks’ distinctive “Ludlow” collection.

And!

A stylish and welcoming open-air lounge, the rooftop terrace offers a fully-equipped outdoor kitchen and lush greenery, against the stunning backdrop of the surrounding New York cityscape.

Here's the final product...an updated rendering from the last one that we saw...



Here's more about the building's inspiration via the 64 E. First Ave. website...

The façade, with its clean lines of stone and glass, is contextual with the existing masonry structures of the neighborhood. By blending the traditional look of the window layout with decorative metal rivets, this stunning city home stylishly pays homage to the nearby iconic Williamsburg and Manhattan Bridges.

What it will cost to live above the ruins of La Vie in the Bowery District

At the end of October, the teaser site went up for the condos a-rising on 64 E. First St. between First Avenue and Second Avenue. (An area which the developers have dubbed — hey ho! — "The Bowery District.")



Yesterday, pricing and model-home pics (H/T Curbed!) arrived for the residences that sit on the former neighborhood scourge La Vie. And you will be paying a pretty premium to live on the former hookah hotspot. Prices for the two homes now available hover just below and above the $3.3 million mark.

And some blurbage:

An exclusive boutique collection of six full-floor residences with private outdoor terraces in the Bowery District. The Bowery epitomizes both the colorful history and perpetually changing landscape that is New York. 64 East reflects the heritage of this iconic thoroughfare in a forward-thinking, modern design.

And some photos…





And the terrance penthouse…



And, as you may recall, the final product…

The broker bunting has arrived on the scaffolding at 64 E. First St., where luxury condos are a-rising on the corpse of La Vie between First Avenue and Second Avenue …



There's a teaser site now for the six, full-floor residences. No pricing, but a few details:

Generous full-floor residences
2 bedrooms/2.5 bathrooms
Deep-set casement windows
Private outdoor terraces for each residence

There's also some new brandage action for the building… apparently this address is located in (heh) "The Bowery District" … (sounds more glamorous than Midtown South, aka MiSo?)…



Anyway, eventually, as the rendering on the plywood shows, the building will eventually look like … oh, never mind!



Here it is for real…

Also! Bonus Crane Operation here on East First Street coming up this Sunday!

See our previous post here for more details on this project.

The space previously housed the club La Vie, whose neighbors celebrated its closure.

Last week we noted the rendering on the plywood outside 64 E. First St., where new condos are on the way for the block between First Avenue and Second Avenue.

Yesterday, the developer's rep sent us an updated and colorized rendering…



And via the EVG inbox...

A 6-story boutique condominium will rise on 64 E 1st St between 1st Ave and 2nd Ave designed by GF55 Partners Architects and developed by MGM Property Group. The new building will be situated in a tree lined mostly residential block near the F train with street level shops and a playground.

The design envisions a façade with a contemporary industrial feel with large casement windows and metal details. The plan for the development is 6 light-filled residences each averaging 1,900 sq ft. The lower duplex will occupy the cellar and 1st floor with a private rear yard. Floors 2-5 are floor-through units with rear balconies. The upper duplex on the 6th and penthouse levels offer a rooftop terrace. Each unit will have two bedrooms with ensuite bathrooms. Both baths and powder room will be outfitted with waterworks fittings and accessories. The floor plan will have a high end kitchen open to the living and dining areas.

Amenities include a workout room on the first floor and a shared rooftop with a barbeque. The site sits between a 10 unit condo building built in 2007 and a boiler and welding shop that has been there for over 50 years.

The space was once home to the club La Vie, which all the neighbors hated.

Work has commenced at 64 E. First St., where a 6-story residential building will rise from the ruins of the former La Vie club here between First Avenue and Second Avenue.

Last April, New York Yimby reported that there will be six residential units (likely condos) — "two duplexes, one spanning the cellar and first floor, and another located on the sixth and penthouse levels; each of the other four residences will be full-floor."

The units will average a roomy 2,250 square feet.

And now, the plywood sports the rendering of the building…



… a closer look … (the building doesn't lean to the right — apparently we were when we snapped the photo)…



DOB permits show that Ekstein Development is behind the project. The architect of record is GF55, whose other neighborhood contributions include Jupiter 21 at the site of the former Mars Bar.

The demo crew made quick work of the one level former club that everyone seemed to hate here at 64 E. First St. (Even one of the construction workers said, "I heard that it was a shitty club.")

As previously noted, a 6-floor residential building is in the works for this space between First Avenue and Second Avenue.

Leveling La Vie

Just noting the continued de-evolution of the former club at 64 E. First St.

Workers are in the process of leveling the structure to make way for a 6-floor residential building here between First Avenue and Second Avenue.

New York Yimby reported in April that there will be six residential units (likely condos) — "two duplexes, one spanning the cellar and first floor, and another located on the sixth and penthouse levels; each of the other four residences will be full-floor."

La Vie, a club masquerading as a restaurant, finally closed in June 2013 after a protracted battle with the State Liquor Authority.

Despite the angle of this photo, Abetta Boiler and Welding Service next door is still in business.

Workers yesterday began boarding up the former La Vie space at 64 E. First St., the unpopular-with-neighbors club that closed in June 2013 after a protracted battle with the State Liquor Authority.

Permits show — pending DOB approval — a 6-floor residential building going up in this space between First Avenue and Second Avenue.

Back in April, New York Yimby reported that there will be six residential units (likely condos) — "two duplexes, one spanning the cellar and first floor, and another located on the sixth and penthouse levels; each of the other four residences will be full-floor."

First, though, the existing one-level structure needs to be demolished. (Someone also needs to pay $5,000 for DOB civil penalties.)

DOB permits show that Ekstein Development is behind the project.

Demolition work continues at 64 E. First St., the former home of neighborhood scourge LaVie, which closed for good last June after a protracted battle with the SLA.

Workers are now bombing the rats.



And what comes after the demolition? Permits filed on April 29 show a 6-floor residential building in the making here between First Avenue and Second Avenue.

New York Yimby, who first reported on the new building, points out that there will be six residential units (likely condos) — "two duplexes, one spanning the cellar and first floor, and another located on the sixth and penthouse levels; each of the other four residences will be full-floor."

[EVG file photo from last summer]

La Vie at 64 E. First St. finally closed last June following an ongoing battle with neighbors over a variety of quality-of-life issues... Neighbors had long complained that La Vie was operating as a club under the guise of a restaurant.

At the time of the closure, a tipster on the block told us: "They are moving all of the red velvet seating out to a Budget truck out front right now! The block is rejoicing."

Not sure if people will be rejoicing over what's coming next: Plans were filed with the city Monday to demolish the (rather ugly) one-story structure. Neighbors spotted a worker in a Hazmat suit on the building's roof yesterday here between First Avenue and Second Avenue.



There's nothing on file yet to hint at what is next for this space... though you can likely expect some kind of new residential building.

DOB permits point to Ekstein Development — "a diversified and rapidly growing real estate investment firm with properties and businesses located throughout New York and New Jersey" — as the owner.

On March 4, the city served a full Stop Work Order for operating here without proper permits.



Also, given that one-level buildings are becoming extinct around the neighborhood… it's worth noting that the demolition permit is only for No. 64, and that there's nothing on file for No. 66, home to Abetta Boiler and Welding Service next door … so they appear safe for now…
