Permits have been filed for an eight-story mixed-use building at 188 Grand Street in Little Italy, Manhattan. Located between Mulberry Street and Mott Street, the lot is near the Grand Street subway station, served by the B and D trains. Thomas Giannopoulos of Kings Capital is listed as the owner behind the applications.
The proposed 85-foot-tall development will yield 20,008 square feet, with 17,788 square feet designated for residential space and 2,220 square feet for commercial space. The building will have 12 residences, most likely condos based on the average unit scope of 1,482 square feet. The concrete-based structure will also have a cellar.
Thomas Barry of Opera Studio Architecture is listed as the architect of record.
Demolition permits will likely not be needed as the lot is now vacant. An estimated completion date has not been announced.

what a fukn shame….City of Yes under Adams tearing down rent stabilized low rise pre war buildings for “housing” that is NOT affordable. SMH. destruction to the neighborhood.
I agree with the overall point but the original building collapsed on its own.
It’s currently an empty lot of land since the building fell down.
Adams? anyway, please reject this proposal and leave what remains of Little Italy intact

Shame. Couldn’t rebuild as good of building even if they tried (they won’t).
I’m truly shocked this was allowed to be torn down. This really must stop. There are far too many other developable sites in the city. Sad!
It’s currently an empty lot of land since the building fell down.
It had a partial collapse several years ago and was structurally unstable.
If I remembered correctly, the DOB stated they found that the illegal and unauthorized construction work done on the first floor and in the cellar of a 4 story commercial building significantly destabilized the structure, and had ordered the property owners to demolish the building. It was a hazard to the public.
Is nothing sacred? For shame. Won’t be long before Chinatown joins the West Village and Upper East Side as an NYC-themed amusement park.
This building fell down when the new owners started doing illegal renovations. It’s currently an empty lot of land. Can all the nimbys complaining actually 5 minutes of research.
Little Italy should be designated with Landmark status by the NY Landmarks Preservation Commission to combat any further wanton, luxury developments which would destroy the historic fabric of the neighborhood and diminish what’s left of any affordable options for current residents, from ever being approved in the future.
It is, and was designated.
The Italians in NYC not as important as years ago..
