Seems like there is still a residential tower planned for the north end of the site. Maybe there’s more recent news than this?
Westbrook Partners and Atlas Capital Group retained the block between Clarkson and Houston Streets; and with that end of St. John’s demolished they could build a 430-feet high residential tower, as previously approved in 2016. Thirty percent of the units (475 apartments) were to rent at below-market rates through a housing lottery; part of the tower was to be geared towards “older tenants.” There would also be retail space and a possible 15,000-square-foot recreation center. Strangely, no new renderings have surfaced since those 2016 approvals.
I hope that within 20 years, the City sells the land that the new Sanitation garage occupies.
Hard to tell behind scaffolding, but this project is beginning to go vertical.
And also, one piece of facade has been installed…
I saw a hell of a lot of long steel on flat beds along the street the other night
Google on the lower right, right?
