NEW YORK | 38-46 2nd Avenue (Church of the Nativity redevelopment) | 120 FT | 11 FLOORS

As reported back in August, there are work permits awaiting approval by the city… plans call for an 11-story building (120-feet tall) filled with 87 residences (condos?) and 10,014 square feet of retail. In addition, there will be a 1,884-square-foot office (likely medical) on the first and second floors.

Not sure if this is the current design:

The long-vacant development site on the east side of Second Avenue between Second Street and Third Street appears to have found a buyer.

The listing from brokerage BKREA is now marked SOLD, though the transaction has not yet appeared in public property records.

As previously reported, the 14,019-square-foot parcel, which hit the market in March, offers more than 100,000 buildable square feet and has been at the center of years of stalled development plans, litigation and neighborhood concern. (See this post.)
