Yes, I paid $3M for the Christodora House and I borrowed $2M of that at 24% interest. What a great building! What fun it was to renovate. The Black Panthers had been the last occupants. It was TRASHED. While my flooring subcontractors were installing the last of the oak flooring in the building, someone stole the engine and back seat out of their car which they had parked across the street from the building. The neighborhood was off the charts. I loved it. Sam Glasser December 9, 2009 1:41 AM
In the 1960's, according to a search of historical records conducted by the building's developer, the city rented Christadora House to a variety of community groups, including the Black Panthers. But it was eventually boarded up, and then sold at auction in 1978 to a private bidder for $63,000.
The building changed hands several times before it was purchased in 1984 by a group headed by Samuel Glasser, who oversaw its conversion into 85 modern condominium apartments, using a $6.5 million loan from Citibank and tax abatements and exemptions under the Government's J-51 tax program.
"Nobody really had the nerve to develop such a big building in the East Village because it wasn't a tested market," said Amos B. Harris, an executive in Mr. Glasser's firm, SMG Construction Inc. We took the plunge and it worked."
Offering most of the apartments for $114,000 to $495,000, Mr. Glasser sold the majority of the units in six months, Mr. Harris said.
During the protests, many demonstrators accused developers of exerting pressure on the city to impose a curfew on the park to encourage gentrification. But building residents and Mr. Glasser said they had made no effort to influence the city's policy.

Sexton said he would like NYU to begin executing its 2031 plans as soon as possible. He anticipates the opening proposal to be completed in mid-January and construction for the first project to be completed by the following summer.
NYU hopes the 2031 expansion will make the degrees of NYU alumni more viable.
"It's our task to make sure that the value of your degree becomes more and more potent," Sexton said. "From now on, I don't want to refer to us as New York University. I want to refer to us as 'the New York University.' "
New York City-based Town and Gardens, Ltd. and green wall manufacturer greenscreen® collaborated to transform two city rooftops into inviting spaces with great views and green benefits. The uniquely designed East Village Penthouse Terrace and Museum Towers Terrace, located in Manhattan, feature greenscreen® green walls to provide privacy in the form of aesthetically appealing vertical gardens. Town and Gardens contributed to both the design and build of each project.
The East Village Penthouse Terrace, located across from the well-known NYC eatery Katz’s Delicatessen, consists of roughly 3,000 square feet. The $250,000 project, which began in 2008, was designed to feature a play area for kids, space for entertaining and a large hot tub. The rooftop is part of a private residence that had recently been completely renovated on the interior.
Lead designer Eric Greenblott of Town and Gardens worked with the facility owner to develop the owner’s vision for the building’s terrace. The goal was to create a clean look with various levels. Town and Gardens helped to design and install a sunken play area covered in rubber mats as well as a private space for the rooftop hot tub. Because of the hot tub’s location, privacy was a main concern.
“The client wanted something different than traditional parapet walls to surround the terrace,” Greenblott explains. “Town and Gardens was familiar with greenscreen® and suggested using greenscreen® green walls and clips to attach the wire trellising structures to the parapet walls.”
The vertical gardens created by greenscreen® feature a mixture of vines and grasses that, according to Greenblott, only require maintenance twice a month. The green walls increase privacy and camouflage graffiti on the surrounding buildings. Additionally, the installation creates a lush backdrop for the enclosed hot tub while the natural city skyline and Empire State Building serve as the background for the rest of the East Village Penthouse Terrace.

[BLOOD WHORE] 30s. Male. Found in the shadows of a park in the East Village after dark peddling blood. He’s the man in charge of this seedy operation. When the detectives meet him on his turf to ask some questions, he is nonchalant and seems to enjoy messing with them. (1 scene)
The influx of luxury buildings and the moneyed residents who can afford them, panelists like Mr. Patterson seemed to say, erase the color and vibrancy of the area, even as they shoo away perceived blight like the suppliers of drug baggies. But if the roof is made of glass and steel and is designed by a celebrity architect, are the stories underneath less “real life”?
The problem, Mr. Ferrara said, is that newcomers to the Lower East Side have “amnesia of some sort — a self-entitlement. Somebody’s paying $3,500 to live in the same two or three rooms where somebody’s grandmother used to sit in the window crying, ‘How am I going to pay my rent?’ ” If they were aware of the history behind sky-high real estate, he said, the pricing out would be “a little easier to bear.”
Yet the very history being rubbed out by developers and yuppies is, paradoxically, what draws them to the area, Ms. Polland said, citing, for example, the Hotel on Rivington’s founding concept: “The area has arrived, but retains it’s colorful, urban diversity,” says literature on the hotel’s Web site. It “caters to the upper class,” she said. “It’s staking its image on the identity of a neighborhood that in order to have that diversity,” officials “would need to be thinking about affordable housing.”
