A rendering has been revealed of the 14-story, 50-unit mixed-use building planned at 644 East 14th Street, located on the corner of Avenue C in the East Village. The building will encompass 76,259 square feet and rise 162 feet above street level, Real Estate Weekly reported. There will be 8,064 square feet of retail and 21,575 square feet of community facility space located within the tower’s three-story base. The residential units above should average 677 square feet, which indicates rental apartments. The developer is Opal Holdings, which acquired the site for $23 million over the summer. Karl Fischer’s SoHo-based architecture firm is behind the design. After YIMBY reported on the project’s initial filings when they were submitted in 2014, the site’s former single-story warehouse was demolished in late 2015.

Reveal 14-story reveal location, mixed-use building never die from plan and street level.
Sigh. With all the amazing talent this city allegedly attracts why are our buildings SO dull and monotonous? NYC has an amazing architectural tradition like other great cities that basically ended in the 1950’s. Paying some tribute to that only enhances our skyline and developer’s bottom line. Ignoring it impoverishes us all, on every level. Get some classically trained architects to design modern buildings and let’s see some BEAUTY and elegance put back into the mix.
