The 6-floor residential building rising on the NE corner of Sixth Street and Avenue C is in its unglamorous cinderblock phase as work continues ...

As previously reported, the residential building will include 11 units, a storefront and space for an unspecified community facility on this long-vacant corner. (A gas station was the last tenant here in the 1980s.)

The plywood rendering has not been updated, and still lists a fall 2022 completion date...

As previously reported, there are approved permits for a 6-floor building with 11 residential units, a storefront and space for an unspecified community facility on this long-vacant corner. (A gas station was the last tenant here in the 1980s.)

When complete, the building will look something like this...

Workers are in the foundation stage for the new building set to rise in the long-vacant lot on the northeast corner of Sixth Street and Avenue C.

There has been development talk for this lot dating to 2003. A former gas station, this corner has been vacant since the early 1980s.

We finally have a look at the new retail-residential building coming to the long-vacant northeast corner of Avenue C and Sixth Street... the rendering recently arrived on the plywood here... brace! There has been development talk for this lot dating to 2003. A former gas station, this corner has been vacant since the the early 1980s. 

According to DOB records, the 6-floor building will include 11 residential units, a storefront and space for an unspecified community facility. The city approved the application in May 2019 and issued a partial work permit in late July. The rendering shows an aggressive fall 2021 completion date. 

Meanwhile, the lot remains the same behind the plywood...
