Permits have been filed for a 12-story mixed-use building at 1998 Second Avenue in East Harlem, Manhattan. Located on the corner of East 103rd Street and Second Avenue, the lot is two blocks east of the 103rd Street subway station, serviced by the 6 train. Peter Fine of Bolivar Development is listed as the owner behind the applications. He purchased the almost-full-block property for $28.5 million last year.

The building will have 185 residences, with an average unit scope of 1,846 square feet. The steel-based structure will also have a cellar.
David Gross of GF55 Partners is listed as the architect of record.
Most of the site is vacant, however demolition permits have not yet been filed for the building on the corner. An estimated completion date has not been announced.

1992 Second Avenue was the location of Yankee great Lou Gehrig’s birth, according to his birth certificate. It would be nice if the developer included some kind of recognition of this great New York sportsman.
Nah, Lou Gehrig’s birthplace was on 94th, between 1st and 2nd.
