Window washing at E2E4

Thus proving that I will pretty much take a photo of anything outside the 15-story E2E4 tower on Bowery between Third Street and Fourth Street....






I hope that they have a different system for reaching the upper floors.

Scarano's gated community continues to get gated and secure on the Bowery

We continue to keep watch on Scarano's E2E4 tower on the Bowery...



The gated driveway for the likes of Moby and John Legend looks nearly finished...



And the video/keypad security thingee is now up and running...



"Yes, we have the meat lover's pizza for Mr. Moby..."

52 pickup: Numbers up at E2E4

More progress at the E2E4 tower of condo on the Bowery...

Then!





The 52 --- for 52 E. Fourth St., of course -- is now in place on the gated driveway...

Now!

The lights are on, but is anyone home at E2E4?

Just a few weeks ago we noticed that newspapers were being delivered to the gated driveway at E2E4, the 15-story tower of condo on the Bowery...now, as you can, see, some lights have appeared in a few of the units...




Perhaps these are just the units being used for the open houses, so you can get a feel for what the place will be like at night or check out the losers paying $475 a night at the Bowery Hotel.

The gated driveway is lit up as well...



We walked by the other day during open house hours. In five minutes, we saw seven people exit the gated driveway on East Fourth Street...including two men who I usually see hanging out in front of the former Kelley & Ping space around the corner. One of the men leaned toward me and said, with some enthusiasm, "There's only one apartment on each floor!"

And you can watch people while they shower. And vice versa.



According to the Core Group Web site, there are three available units. There are five units in contract... and three -- all priced at $2 million and above -- have "recently sold," including the one to John Legend...

Anyway, hard to believe that it was nearly two years ago when Jeremiah first wrote about what was coming here... and it was back in March 2006 when Curbed started getting some reader-submitted photos of the construction/destruction here.

First signs of life at E2E4: Newspapers in the driveway!

As you can barely see in the top photo, no one is living yet in the 15-story tower of condo on the Bowery...



Regardless, future tenants (Moby? John Legend?) are already having their newspapers delivered to E2E4's gated driveway....




...or maybe this is just a way for newspapers to pad their sluggish circulation figures...

Outside the Bowery Bazaar

At the Bowery Bazaar in the E2E4 building on Bowery between Third Street and Fourth Street.




And has anyone been inside?

Also out front...a light show of sorts above the storefront...

E2E4's private, gated drive gets plowed

Or at least shoveled yesterday morning for those residents who likely don't live here yet.



Perhaps enough room for a toy car.



On Saturday, the 15-stories of condo at East Fourth Street and the Bowery were starting to feel a little homey.

How bazaar!: First retailer coming soon to E2E4 on the Bowery

Hmm... The Bowery Bazaar. Between Fourth Street and Third Street on the Bowery. Street level at the 15-story tower. I sent an e-mail to the address listed here to find out exactly what this will be. No response yet.

Bazaar in retail space of million-dollar condos with gated driveway "aims to bring a sense of authenticity" back to the Bowery

Thanks to the fliers plastered on the windows on the ground floor of E2E4, we now have a little more information about what the Bowery Bazaar is going to be all about between Third Street and Fourth Street...



Well, if you can make out the photos below..."A new bazaar set to open in the heart of Manhattan's oldest thoroughfare: The Bowery."

Hmm. A few other snippets...

"A hip, new indoor market set to open on the Bowery this November 1..."

"The bazaar is already creating a lot of buzz."

"The Bowery Bazaar will merge antiquity with modernity in a wonderful melting pot of trendy design, unique memorabilia, and antique pieces."

"...welcomes up-and-coming artists, young designers, and enthusiastic collectors to exhibit their goods. Just down the block from the Bowery Hotel and Cooper Square Hotel, the bazaar will be open to the public at large."

"The Bowery Bazaar aims to bring a sense of authenticity back to a part of Manhattan that's been transformed from central throughway, to a gritty nab, and back again."

Bowery gets etched into E2E4

A Bowery entrance to the 15-story tower at Fourth Street. Oh, from this angle it looks as if Bowery is spelled Bow ry. But the "e" is actually there...

Greed is good?

New signs up at the Bowery Bazaar in the E2E4 building on Bowery between Third Street and Fourth Street. "Brought to you by Greed"? Still not sure what this place is trying to be.

What a booth at the Bowery Bazaar will run you

Thanks to the EV Grieve reader for passing along more information about the Bowery Bazaar, which opens Nov. 1 in the E2E4 building on the Bowery between Third Street and Fourth Street.



As the sign out front says, the Bazaar "...welcomes up-and-coming artists, young designers, and enthusiastic collectors to exhibit their goods."

And how much will it cost to exhibit those goods?

I'm curious about how many vendors this place will hold... and why didn't some faboo designer type like John Varvatos lease this space?

P.S.
I'm aware security is spelled incorrectly...that's how the Bazaar sent out the information...

What's new around the Cooper Square Hotel: Sidewalk, lack of trees

After looking at E2E4 the other day, I swung by to check in on the progress of the Cooper Square Hotel. (I usually only go by for free ice.) Well! For starters, the sidewalk alongside the hotel's coming-soon garden (outdoor bar?) space on East Fifth Street is done....




...but not at the cost of a few trees.



And what is going on with this one?



Meanwhile, it's looking really glassy....





...and close to the neighbors.





Curbed had an update yesterday on the hotel and the ominous Wolverine claw....




P.S.
The hotel's VIP entrance still needs a little work...

Sidewalk reappears in front of E2E4 on the Bowery

The sidewalk shed has been taken away between Third Street and Fourth Street...



We'll miss you sidewalk shed!
