Measure what you eat at DM Restaurant

DM Restaurant opened earlier this month on the SE corner of 10th Street and Fourth Avenue... officially 71 Fourth Ave., the first retail tenant for the deluxe 10-floor cantilevering condoplex that arrived here in 2019.
This month, ownership received administrative approval from CB3 for a liquor license at this location. The online questionnaire describes DM's food as "Asian fusion (both Chinese and Korean)."

Several EVG readers pointed out this opening ... though no one we know has eaten here just yet.

The DM's Yelp page notes that this is the first North American outpost for the brand with 200 locations worldwide. 

And per the name, you order your food by the decimetre/decimeter. The menu features a variety of wings, fries, beef patties, etc. ... not sure exactly how this all works if someone wants to go investigate...

Here then, the cantilevering condoplex on 4th Avenue and 10th Street



ICYMI, 80 E. 10th St., the deluxe cantilevering condoplex at the southeast corner of 10th Street and Fourth Avenue, recently came into full view as workers cleared away the remaining plywood and sidewalk bridge.

Here's a look along 10th Street...



The next photo, taken a few days after the two above, shows that the 10th Street sidewalk is back open (and the street is finally clear of construction equipment after 28 months) ...





The 10-floor condoplex — called Eighty East Tenth — features 12 units, ranging from one to five bedrooms. The three remaining residences on the Eighty East Tenth website fall in the $7.5 million range.

Some details on the building from the website:

“Eighty East Tenth Street sits at the heart of a historically significant stretch of Fourth Avenue formerly known as Book Row, once the center of the rare and antique book trade in America. Inspired by this unique history, NAVA began an intensive creative process of transforming and expressing the written word into a physical pattern on the building’s façade. The resulting metal surface features a circular grid pattern of discreet concave and convex impressions which make each panel a distinct manifestation of the neighborhood's rich heritage.”

There's also 2,900 square feet of retail space on the market.



As noted before, a one-level row of businesses were on this corner, including the Green East deli and St. Marx Music, until 2007.

The storefronts sat empty for years, waiting for development. Here's the corner in 2013...



Maybe these shops will move back into the new retail space?

Selling Eighty East Tenth


[Photo from Monday]

Sales kicked off the middle of last month for 80 E. 10th St., the 10-floor condoplex at Fourth Avenue.

There are just 12 units here in the development called Eighty East Tenth, ranging from one to five bedrooms.

Of the seven units currently on the market (ranging in price from $1.95 million to $7.85 million), four of them are in contract. (This info is via Streeteasy and the Eighty website.)

Anyway, there are more photos and descriptions of the building since our last look.

Per the 80 website:

The walls of the empty building were also home to the 10th Street Free Press (aka The Scribbler), who has relocated to the wall outside Duane Reade on 10th and Third...

About the cantilevering condos coming to 4th Avenue and 10th Street



Workers have now surrounded the new development site at 71 Fourth Ave. and 10th Street with a heavy-duty sidewalk bridge.

As previously noted, a 10-story, retail-residential complex will rise here. Given the square footage allotted for the 12 planned residences, condos were likely.

Last week, The Real Deal reported that NAVA Companies "is targeting a $72.4 million sellout" for the (officially now!) condoplex, according to a condo filing plan accepted by the New York State Attorney General’s office.

According to the filing, units would span an average of more than 2,000 square feet. The $72.4 million projected sellout means units would cost on average of over $6 million. The AG’s office approved the plan on April 7.

The NAVA website says that sales will begin in the fall. There's a teaser site up and running for the building, officially 80 E. 10th St. ... (at least this guy is wearing a shirt) ...



And as a reminder of the condo cantilevering to come...



Meanwhile, once the construction really gets going, 10th Street between Fourth Avenue and Third Avenue will be a tight, potentially dangerous, fit for pedestrians, motorists, cyclists...

This looks to be the new residential building coming to 71 4th Ave.


[Not this, below]

Through the years we've seen a handful of renderings for the 10-story retail-residential complex coming to the southeast corner of Fourth Avenue and 10th Street (officially 71 Fourth Ave.).

It looks as if we finally have a winner ... CityRealty pointed out that the local architecture-development firm, NAVA, had this rendering on its site...


[Image via NAVA]

The building, says CityRealty, is "an energetic design of cantilevers, setbacks and cutaways."

We spotted another rendering of it last year...



To recap, there will be retail on the ground floor and 12 dwelling units above. The residential portion encompasses more than 24,000 square feet, so those units will presumably be condos. Floors 2-5 will each have two units while 6-8 will each have one unit while a two-level duplex to top things off. The plans also show a rooftop "recreation space" ... with more outdoor space on the ground level. Residential perks include a media room, an exercise room and storage for seven bikes, according to the permits.

Residents will also have views of the lines at neighbor Tim Ho Wan.

Work underway on 10-story condoplex at 4th Avenue and 10th Street



Looks as if work has officially commenced for the 10-story retail-residential complex at the southeast corner of Fourth Avenue and 10th Street...



To recap, there are approved plans for a 10-story building ...with retail on the ground floor and 12 dwelling units above. The residential portion encompasses more than 24,000 square feet, so those units will presumably be condos. Floors 2-5 will each have two units while 6-8 will each have one unit while a two-level duplex to top things off. The plans also show a rooftop "recreation space" ... with more outdoor space on the ground level. Residential perks include a media room, an exercise room and storage for seven bikes, according to the permits.

SBLM Architects are listed as the architects of record. We didn't spot a rendering at their website.

However, we've seen several renderings for this lot elsewhere. The most recent one was posted at CityRealty ... it is listed as 80 E. 10th St. ...



This is the wrong corner, though. The above rendering is on 13th Street at Fourth Avenue. Perhaps a potential sign of things to come to that currently one-level corner building?

The pits: 10th Street and 4th Avenue cleared for new development



On Friday, workers wrapped up the demolition on 10th Street at Fourth Avenue. The crew quickly took down the single-level structure at the southeast corner in August.

However, the turn-of-the-century townhouse at 82 E. 10th St. remained... they seemed to take their time with it for some reason. I watched them slowly raze it over a two-week period.

As previously reported, a 10-story retail-residential building is in the works. The approved permit shows retail on the ground floor and 12 dwelling units above. The residential portion encompasses more than 24,000 square feet, so those units will presumably be condos. Floors 2-5 will each have two units while 6-8 will each have one unit while a two-level duplex to top things off.

SBLM Architects are listed as the architects of record. Didn't spot a rendering at their website. However, a search of the address online turned up this rendering... I don't have any idea if this is the actual design still in play here. This comes from a now-broken link at Archinect ...



The history of this stretch includes the Tenth Street Coffeehouse, an artists' hangout run by Mickey Ruskin before he opened Les Deux Megots on Ninth Street and then Max's Kansas City. No. 82 was thought to have housed the Hilda Carmel Gallery in the late 1950s and early 1960s, where the likes of Pollock, Rothko and de Kooning showed their work.

Long-vacant 71 4th Ave. razed to make way for 10-story building



A demo crew made quick work of 71 Fourth Ave., the single-level structure at the southeast corner of 10th Street... as you can see from the handy Blogger Portals...







Workers will next turn their demolition attention to the neighboring townhouse at 82 E. 10th St.

All this is to make way for a 10-story retail-residential building. The approved permit shows retail on the ground floor and 12 dwelling units above. The residential portion encompasses more than 24,000 square feet, so those units will presumably be the crucially needed high-end condos. Floors 2-5 will each have two units while 6-8 will each have one unit while a two-level duplex to top things off.

As previously reported, development has been stalled here for years. The previous tenants, including the Green East deli and St. Marx Music (and previously the Atlas Barber School), were cleared out in early 2007. There were once plans to build a 13-story hotel, though the city surprisingly never OK'd that proposal.

With new building OK'd, corner of 4th Avenue and 10th Street finally ready for razing



Workers prepped the southeast corner of 10th Street and Fourth Avenue late last week for demolition. (H/T to a reader for alerting us to this on Friday.) This comes about nine months after the permits were filed.

The parcel includes the four-story, turn-of-the-century townhouse at 82 E. 10th St.



Last Monday, the city OK'd the plans for a 10-story building here. The approved permit shows retail on the ground floor and 12 dwelling units above. The residential portion encompasses more than 24,000 square feet, so those units will presumably be condos. Floors 2-5 will each have two units while 6-8 will each have one unit while a two-level duplex to top things off.

The plans also show a rooftop "recreation space" ... with more outdoor space on the ground level. Residential perks include a media room, an exercise room and storage for seven bikes, according to the permits.

SBLM Architects are listed as the architects of record. We didn't spot a rendering at their website ... but there is this diagram on file with the DOB...



It has been a long time coming for this — or any — development here. The previous tenants, including the Green East deli and St. Marx Music (and previously the Atlas Barber School), were cleared out in early 2007. There were once plans to build a 13-story hotel, though the city never OK'd that proposal, Curbed reported in 2009.

The plans for the 10-story building were filed last summer, as New York Yimby first reported. The layout has been amended somewhat. The plans from last summer showed just eight residences. Folks living here will just have to make due with a little less space.

82 E. 10th St. was thought to have housed the Hilda Carmel Gallery in the late 1950s and early 1960s, where the likes of Pollock, Rothko and de Kooning showed their work.

So long giant underwater photo of a jellyfish and model



EVG reader Ronnie noted the arrival yesterday of a new banner/billboard/whateveryoucallthis at the long-empty corner space on Fourth Avenue and East 10th Street...



Anyone know what this is promoting?

It replaces the one with model-photographer Amber Arbucci and the jellyfish that had been up here since May 2014...


[EVG photo from May 2014]

Soon, this corner will no longer be able to house giant photos of jellyfish and models and whatever else with the 10-story condoplex in the works.

Updated 1:30 p.m.

Thanks to commenter James S. ... this is a painting by Nick Walker titled "The Brooklyn Morning After."

[Updated] Demo work starts on the southeast corner of 4th Avenue and 10th Street


[EVG file photo]

As noted a few weeks back (first by DNAinfo), demolition permits are now on file to take down the long-empty, single-level building at 71 Fourth Ave. and the four-story, turn-of-the-century townhouse next door at 82 E. 10th St.

On Wednesday, an EVG reader said that workers cleared away the makeshift shelter where several people had been living. (It was unclear if anyone had been sleeping here of late.)

Yesterday, another reader reported that a dumpster arrived on East 10th Street as workers began clearing out the Fourth Avenue structure, which once housed the Green East deli and St. Marx Music…





There are plans waiting the city's approval for a 10-story, eight-unit building on the site with ground-floor retail. The DOB disapproved the first round of plans in September.

Expect to see a sidewalk bridge and plywood along here soon.

Updated 1:56 p.m.

EVG reader Jon Kestenbaum shared this photo of the No. 71's interior…

Report: Demo permits filed to raze southeast corner of 4th Avenue and 10th Street


[EVG file photo]

Demolition permits are now on file to take down the long-empty, single-level building at 71 Fourth Ave. and the four-story, turn-of-the-century townhouse next door at 82 E. 10th St., DNAinfo reports.


[82 E. 10th St. via Google]

Stewart Osborne, a partner in the LLC that bought the properties for development, told DNAinfo's Lisha Arino that they are still in the "planning process," and haven't decided on what to build here.

As New York Yimby first reported back in July, the owners filed plans for a 10-story, eight-unit building on the site with ground-floor retail. The DOB disapproved the first round of plans in September.

And, as previously noted, this is one of the renderings that has been attached to the corner…



The lot hit the market in June 2013 for $24 million.

The previous tenants of No. 71, including the Green East deli and St. Marx Music (and previously the Atlas Barber School), were cleared out in early 2007.
