Dunkin' Donuts moving into the Jefferson's retail space

[Back in April]

Back in April, we noted that the Dunkin' Donuts at 218 E. 14th St. near Third Avenue was for lease.

And we promptly forgot about it… since then several readers noted that the DD will be moving west a few storefronts to 208 E. 14th St., part of the Jefferson's retail space...



Anyway, just a short move for the DDers …



As always, if this helps… pointing out the move for you…



A CityMD opened up in the main retail space at the Jefferson, the newish still 82-unit residential building in the North West East Village.

Chop Chop Yow: CityMd signage arrives at The Jefferson

We pointed out a few weeks ago that The Jefferson's retail space at 216 E. 14th St. near Third Avenue would be home to a CityMD practice.

Anyway, just wanted to point out that the sign is up now for City MD ... "Chop Chop Yow?"

The Jefferson's retail space at 216 E. 14th St. near Third Avenue had been used to sell "21st Century living in the heart of Olde New York."

The 82-unit building in the North West East Village is all sold out of course… and work permits for storefront show that a CityMD Urgent Care center will be housed here. The quickly expanding CityMD practice has more than 30 locations in NYC and Long Island.

Meanwhile, we wonder what happened to The Jefferson model from the sales center… we were doing a low-budget "Godzilla" shoot and needed some props…

Several readers have pointed out the lights adorning the Jefferson, the incoming condos at 211 E. 13th St. near Third Avenue … aka, the Northwest East Village …

Maybe it's some sort of lighting to bring this back home to the former Mystery Lot, where the Jefferson stands now?

Because we haven't posted any photos of The Jefferson in like 3 weeks

There's always something new to look at outside the Jefferson, the incoming condos at 211 E. 13th St. near Third Avenue … from windows to a new sidewalk … and now, that entryway has finally taken shape…



Anyway, the new 82-unit building at the site of the former Mystery Lot in the North West East Village is reportedly all sold out as of December.

The next development to note here will likely be the sight of moving trucks…

Laying the Jefferson's new sidewalk, which made it through St. Patrick's Day weekend

Over in the Northwest East Village on Saturday, workers were putting in the new sidewalk in front of the Jefferson at 211 E. 13th St. near Third Avenue …



Given that it was DrunkPeopleinGreenShirtsCon all-day Saturday night, we wondered if that freshly laid sidewalk would become the target of mischief.

But! On Sunday morning, it was still in pristine new sidewalk condition without anyone's initials or concrete penises …



Under the careful watch of security guard …



The Jefferson, the new 82-unit condo at the site of the former (sob) Mystery Lot in the North West East Village, is 100 percent in contract, The Real Deal reported last December.

At long last workers have removed the sidewalk bridge in front of The Jefferson, the new luxury residences at 211 E. 13th St. Look, the front doors!

Meanwhile, the sidewalk remains closed.

Report: The Jefferson is all sold out

The Jefferson, the new 82-unit condo at the site of the former (sob) Mystery Lot in the North West East Village, is 100 percent in contract, The Real Deal reported.

Prices at the building, officially 211 E. 13th St. between Second Avenue and Third Avenue, ranged from $795,000 for a 536-square-foot studio to more than $3.5 million for the penthouse.

Here is Jacqueline Urgo, who helped lead the sale for the Marketing Directors:

“The product was planned perfectly for the marketplace, including an exterior that fit in contextually with the neighborhood,” Urgo said via email. “While other developers were building family-sized residences, we planned smaller homes for this marketplace, a decision that was validated by the strong velocity of sales. Our buyers were predominately primary residents, many of whom were already committed to the East Village neighborhood and wanted to move up to this level of luxury and lifestyle.”

Plus, as the Jefferson ads showed, everything works! Unlike that craphole you live in…


[Sick burn, Jefferson!]

About the 'Northwest East Village'

[Rendering on East 13th Street in the Northwest East Village]

The real estate section of the Times had a piece yesterday on the Jefferson, the incoming condoplex that replaced the Mystery Lot along East Thirteen Street near Third Avenue... in particular, the Times explores the Jefferson's claim that the building is in the "Northwest East Village."

With the new name, the team building the Jefferson may be trying to freshen the image of the area, which is lined with aged brick tenements and has been more gentrification-proof than other East Village enclaves.

Or, like other marketing tactics, the renaming could serve no more serious purpose than to draw attention to the building.

“We were being a little funny, because we know it’s never going to catch on,” said Michael Barry, the president of the Ironstate Development Company in Hoboken, N.J., which is working with SK Development and CB Developers on the project.

Anyway, everybody knows that this is Midtown South.

Condos at The Jefferson released into the wild

Back on April 23, The Jefferson — the luxury condos that rose up from the former Mystery Lot on East 13th Street — unveiled its pricing and floor plans.

And yesterday, five of those units arrived on Streeteasy... including a 582-square-foot studio ($850,000) and a pièce de résistance, the 1,300-square-foot penthouse ($2,895 million).

And a smidgen of the marketing copy:

There is no more charming, lively and exciting neighborhood in Manhattan than the East Village. It is alive with history, culture and creativity — but living here can be a challenge. Most residential buildings are over 100 years old and built to a scale unsuited to contemporary lifestyles. Many find the compromise worth it. But the Jefferson provides perfect answer, with no compromise required.

Not sure if The Jeff has sold any units... however, at least two scalies are now squatting on the roof garden...

Over in the North West East Village, workers have just started laying the bricks on the Jefferson, the new condo building at 211 E. 13th St. (AKA the former Mystery Lot). Looks like this now...

The Jefferson sales gallery now open on East 14th Street

Last Monday, The Jefferson — the luxury condos that rose up from the former Mystery Lot on East 13th Street — unveiled its pricing and floor plans, as BuzzBuzz Home first noted.

And the "sales gallery" is also open on East 14th Street ... where we assume retail will eventually take over once the condos, priced from $850,000 to $2.49 million, are sold. Oh, and the gallery is "by appointment only."

And yesterday, The Jefferson — the luxury condos that rose up from the former Mystery Lot on East 13th Street — unveiled its pricing and floor plans, as BuzzBuzz Home first noted. (We spotted the listings at Curbed.)

The Jefferson's marketing campaign asks, "Can you afford not to buy?" Unfortunately, the units turn out to be more than $300. The listings include a 536-square-foot studio for $850,000 up to a two-bedroom penthouse with a rooftop terrace for $2.49 million. In between, one-bedrooms range from $1.11 and $1.54 million.

Anyway, go look at the units... come back and comment... Or just comment.

And the view from East 13th Street...



...and the roof...

[Updated] What is that atop the Jefferson?

We were walking east on East 13th Street Friday afternoon (oh, how was your weekend?) and we spotted this atop The Jefferson, the incoming condo ...



That.



What the hell is that?



Don't recall seeing that in the renderings.

Shared building amenities include a rooftop terrace with party facilities and a BBQ. Maybe it's a party facility? DJ Booth? Portal to the 18th century?

Guesses as to what this is... are welcome in the comments.

Updated 10:20

Curbed quickly cleared up the mystery, looking at some zoning diagrams and noting that this is an "allowable rooftop obstruction" for an elevator machine room. That's boring!
