Demolition is finishing up at 1022-1026 Third Avenue, the site of a forthcoming residential building in the Lenox Hill section of Manhattan’s Upper East Side. Developed by Kahen Properties, which purchased the three adjacent sites for $34 million in the summer of 2021, the building can rise to a maximum of 12 stories under local zoning restrictions. Third North Holdings LLC is the owner and Alba Services is the general contractor for the project, which is located between East 60th and East 61st Streets.
Recent photos show two of the three low-rise occupants of the plot razed to street level and crews in the process of hauling away the remaining debris. 1020 Third Avenue, the third building in the acquisition, remains standing on the south end of the site. It currently houses an operating Chipotle Mexican Grill, which has a lease until 2029, and four residential levels above.

And they’re just going to leave that abortion on the corner for perpetuity?
So sad tear down these low rise buildings for piece of crap towers that will house the super rich.
more nyc history down the drain and sent to the landfill
Will you seriously stop playing that same card over and over again? No rendering or other info is available for now, and yet you always like to get ahead of yourself and dump your negative remarks all over this site…
Do those old walkups really mean that much to you and your agenda to not see any construction progress in New York City? You’re just someone wanting the city to look frozen in time, slowly getting older with no possibility for progress or development . Says a lot about you Guesser…
Kevin
if you don’t like my opinions DON’T READ THEM SIMPLE AS THAT!
I don’t have an agenda, and what you call “construction progress” I call demolishing century old buildings, removing their tenants and losing the ground floor businesss to build an out of context piece of crap for the super rich.
THAT’S MY OPINION NOT MY CARD OR AGENDA, TOO BAD YOU CAN’T UNDERSTAND. THAT SAYS A LOT ABOUT YOU KEVIN
CAN YOU UNDERATAND WHAT AN OPINION IS?
This isn’t a shouting match Guesser…
Those impressive capitalized words at the end of your rant is exactly what everyone is trying to tell you by saying to stop yelling in your comments and say things in a calmer and better expression.
“Lenox Hill begins at East 59th Street and ends at East 77th Street. So this IS in Lenox Hill”
How interesting, I see the word IS in capitol letters in a comment by you
Hmmmmm
Please stop shouting Kevin
The “abortion” on the corner is a nicely designed and better-proportioned building than any crap they will put up.
And this location is about a dozen blocks south of Lenox Hill. Lenox Hill Hospital is on 77th St. I’d call this Midtown East.
Interesting take.
Lenox Hill begins at East 59th Street and ends at East 77th Street. So this IS in Lenox Hill
Kevin, so glad that you know where Lenox Hill is.
Thanks for that important information.
Your sarcasm is much appreciated and obvious Guesser
BTW do I see the word IS in capitol letters? hmmmmm
Please stop shouting Kevin
Touche
I agree, the corner building is a-nice example of what the neighborhood should maintain
