Construction is set to commence at 130 Lafayette Street, the site of a 25-story residential building in Soho, Manhattan. Designed by Marvel and developed by Trammell Crow, the structure will yield 104 rental units and ground-floor retail space. A portion of the residential inventory will be dedicated to affordable housing. The property is located between Howard and Canal Streets.
The renderings depict a red brick-clad tower with an orderly grid of recessed windows culminating in a flat roof. Several shallow setbacks on the upper half of the building are shown topped with landscaped terraces lined with dark metal railings. It is unclear what the northern lot line wall will look like. Given its substantial height for the neighborhood, residents on the upper stories will have panoramic views of the Lower Manhattan and Midtown skylines.

Sidewalk fencing and barriers have been placed in front of the site, where an excavator and other machinery have arrived and are awaiting the start of work. Excavation should unfold over the winter, followed by the rise of the new superstructure by spring.

Homes will come with in-unit washer and dryer. Residential amenities will include a fitness center, a coworking lounge, a tea room, a dining room with demonstration kitchen, and two outdoor terraces.
The developer purchased the site for $14.7 million with a 99-year ground lease at the once-vacant property. The site is located in close proximity to all the Canal Street subway stations, providing convenient access to the 1, 6, A, C, E, J, Z, N, Q, R, and W trains.
130 Lafayette Street’s anticipated completion date has yet to be announced.

When did that tumor get built on top of the neighboring building?
At least it will be overshadowed and upstaged by this new building and we can see less of that “tumor”
Who cares? It’s been there decades and bnbody really notices it
I noticed it. Does that count?
God Marvel has really fallen off…
I do like this building, even if the design firm name, ‘Marvel’ seems better suited for a comic book publisher.
seems ok
I like it.
Did they purchase the air rights over that Mogadishu looking wreckage in the corner or are the nice new lot line facing windows vulnerable to a new development on that corner?
on the corner ffs
Breathtakingly ugly.
An improvement compared to a vacant lot.
wish Marvel used Marble to build in this prime lot
At least all the “artistic expressions” will saved for perpetuity once this tower is built!
Affordable apartments for New Yorkers and not priced out by transplants and all their bs like majority of these comments
lol being born in NYC doesn’t give any dang birth rights to live in the city. If you can’t afford it move on. It’s a choice, not entitlement, you Brat.
you should have bought back in the day !
dont hate and blame others.
plus dont expect other New Yorkers to subsidize your Manhattan life. – and “affordable” means subsidized in NYC
You want to live here, fine . pay your own way.
