Full reveal: 699 E. 6th St.

Workers have removed all the construction netting and scaffolding from around the all-new 699 E. Sixth St. on the NE corner of Avenue C.

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.)

One reader likened it to "an old-West prison."      

No sign of any listings just yet.

Full reveal at 363 Lafayette

Just noting the recent full reveal over at 363 Lafayette St., the 10-floor, mixed-used office building at Great Jones...



Ironstate Development is behind this project. (Their work in the neighborhood includes The Jefferson, the condoplex at the site of the former Mystery Lot.) The 363 website lists that seven of the 10 floors have been leased. The sidewalk-level retail that stretches back to Bond is available as well.

This was a long-vacant parcel that partially housed the Jones Diner until September 2002.

All about EVE, the Peter Stuyvesant Post Office-replacing rentals on 14th Street

[View of 432 E. 14th St.]

Work continues (one year in!) along 14th Street, as crews are putting in new, ADA-compliant entrances at Avenue A and a new power station at Avenue B for the L train.

Renderings show that one of the Avenue A L-train entrances will be right in front of the new residential building at 432 E. 14th St., site of the former Peter Stuyvesant Post Office branch from 1953 to 2014....



And that residential building has a name — EVE (not to be confused with EVGB on the next block), which is ready to start leasing this fall. CityRealty first noted this earlier in August. Per their report:

Prices of the 113 studio through two-bedroom apartments will range from $2,000 to over $5,000. These figures are consistent with the East Village median rent of $3,963/month, according to CityRealty data. Further apartment details are not yet available, but amenities will include a courtyard, lounge, outdoor exercise and yoga room, bike room, and laundry room.

Here's an updated rendering showing the 13th Street side, where the residential entrance is...

No word on exactly what EVE might stand for (East Village Expensive?). There was some hope that the building would have a name that paid homage to the previous tenant, the much-loathed post 0ffice, such as Next Window Please or You Can Come Back Tomorrow If You Want.

And no word about affordable housing in EVE. The Benenson Capital website still notes the following:

Benenson and the Mack Real Estate Group have formed a joint venture to develop a mixed-use residential and ground floor retail property in New York City's East Village. The 80/20 property will provide both market and affordable housing units.

Reps for Benenson and Mack Real Estate previously sought a variance to build four more floors (to 12 from 8) than the zoning would allow to make up for the "extraordinary construction costs" from poor ground conditions here. They withdrew this request in March 2017.

As for the commercial space, which will have the 14th Street entrance ... the CityRealty post states: "To the delight of residents and neighbors, Trader Joe’s is the building’s retail tenant." There were rumors that the TJ's wasn't happening.

Full reveal at 127 Avenue D

The remaining plywood recently came down at 127 Avenue D, where this 7-floor building between Eighth Street and Ninth Street is looking closer to renting action.

As previously reported, developer H Holding Group is behind this building with 11 dwelling units and a commercial space on the ground floor.

To date we haven't seen any listings for the (presumably) rentals.

This fancy lighting fixture will greet residents...



The previous building here was a one-level structure that housed Sergio Deli Superette.

8-story residential building underway in this empty 9th Street lot

There has been talk dating to 2010 about a new residential building at the site of this empty lot (used for parking) in the 600 block of Ninth Street between Avenue B and Avenue C.

As these photos via Bobby Williams show, workers have started excavation at the site (officially 639 E. Ninth St.) ...



The rendering on the plywood reveals an 8-story building...



The permits are a little more confusing (at least to me), showing a combination of lots — the empty one along with No. 641 to the east. (Same landlord — Adeia Associated LP.) The 8-story building rising in the empty lot looks to have 14 residential units.

In any event, there's a partial stop work order on the lot now after a complaint filed with the city last week noted "CONSTRUCTION EXCAVATION IS SHAKING MY BUILDING."

Here's a photo of the lot from 2012...

Construction watch: 127 Avenue D

Here's a look at the 7-floor building that has slowly been going up on Avenue D between Eighth Street and Ninth Street.

As previously reported, plans call for a mixed-use building via developer H Holding Group. The approved permits now show 11 (previously 13) dwelling units with a commercial space on the ground floor.

To date we haven't seen any listings for the (presumably) rentals.

And here's the rendering via the H Holding Group website...

FULL full reveals at 100 Avenue A and 26 Avenue B

On Saturday, workers removed the rest of the sidewalk bridge in front of 100 Avenue A... showing off the retail space here between Sixth Street and Seventh Street...



...that will house a Blink Fitness Center later this year.

And at 26 Avenue B, the plywood came down in front of the new residential building between Second Street and Third Street...



We weren't sure if No. 26 was going to have a retail component — looks as if it's just an entrance for the five homes here... thanks to a commenter. The work permits show a 1,600-square foot commercial space on the ground floor for an eating/drinking establishment....

1st look at the all-new 26 Avenue B

The scaffolding and construction netting came down at 26 Avenue B this past week... offering the first look at the new 7-unit, 6-floor residential building between Second Street and Third Street... (This space was once home to the Croxley Ales beer garden.)

We were curious what this would look like. The rendering on the plywood showed the building next door ...



Anyway, here it is...





Developer Natan Vinbaytel was also behind 227 E. Seventh St., which people seemed to like ... as well as 67 Avenue C, which is now sold out per a news release we received last week.

To date, we haven't seen any pricing for 26 Avenue B.

H/T Salim!

6-story condoplex, complete with Danish handmade brick, coming to East 6th Street

[Via Google]

Way back in November 2013 we posted about the one-story structure at 619 E. Sixth St. between Avenue B and Avenue C hitting the market for $5.4 million.

The listing mentioned that air rights for the property were available.

Indeed, the new owner is taking advantage of that wasted air. There are now (as of December) approved permits on file with the city for a 6-story residential building here.

The work order shows a 9,235-square-foot building with five residences, likely condos. Amenities include bike storage and a two-car garage ... and the 2-floor duplex at the top includes a private rooftop terrace.

The LLC listed as the owner shares the address with Mermelstein Development. DXA Studio Architecture is listed as the architect of record.

And here are renderings via the DXA website... with more details on the building...



To the architect-ese:

This ground-up building faces an inner-block garden on 6th Street in the East Village. A desire for full expanses of glass to view the garden and the skyline beyond presented a challenge with the heat gain associated with direct southern exposure. The design includes flexible, folding wood slat screens within steel frames that provide solar shading when needed, but that allow unencumbered views when repositioned to the sides of the facade.

The facade is clad in a Danish handmade brick and includes a full width mural along a sidewall that links the building in character with its East Village neighbors where street art abounds. The five residential units, from a small studio up to a dramatic three bedroom with office and double height duplex on the top floors, incorporate a simple and timeless palette of materials throughout.

The space apparently had been home to a Japanese furniture designer. Public records show that the property went for $135,000 in 1993. The selling price last year was $4.7 million.

Filling up: the status of 2 former East Village gas stations

You probably noticed those support poles arrive late last week on Second Avenue and East First Street...







... for the new construction fence to surround the parcel of land that was, until July 2014, a BP station.

As for what's coming next... as previously reported, there are approved plans to erect a 10-story building with 31 residences and ground-floor retail.

Here is the rendering that we saw for the new building... via the website for mortgage lender Ladder Capital, who provided a bridge loan for the project...



While this project steams ahead, another parcel of land that housed a gas station earmarked for development is seemingly stalled ... as the 9-story building in the works at 11 Avenue C/251 E. Second St. at the site of the former Mobil remains on hold. As we pointed out this past summer, nothing seems to be happening with that new building application, which the DOB rejected in April 2014 for incomplete drawings, per city records.

Right now the former Mobil station, which closed in September 2014, is making for a nice parking lot...

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…

Let's take a look at 347 Bowery, now and in the future

At last look in early September, the first floor was just visible at 347 Bowery, where a view-blocking (if you live right next door at 52E4), 13-story, 30,000 square-foot mixed-use residential development is rising.

Now it looks to be past the halfway mark at 7 (or 8?) floors here at East Third Street ...



Developer Urban Muse has designs on five 3-bedroom homes ranging from 2,100 to 4,000 square feet, two 2,000-square-foot commercial units and one 6,800-square-foot retail unit.

Annabelle Selldorf, who designed the swanko 10 Bond Street, is listed as the architect of record. Here's a rendering for the building that we spotted on her firm's website (when you click on the image for more info there, you get a "page not found" message)...



Oh, balconies! Anyway, thoughts on the new building?

Expect something else new right here some day. As previously noted, the lot adjacent to 347 Bowery at 1-3 E. Third St. is also for sale as a development site.
