In May of 2014, YIMBY reported on plans for a 12-story, 18-unit mixed-use building at 543 Second Avenue, in Kips Bay, and now Bluarch Architecture has revealed updated renderings of the project. The rental building will measure 18,877 square feet in its entirety, and will have 13,877 square feet of residential space and a 702 square-foot ground-floor retail component, according to the latest filings. Residential units would begin on the second floor and average 771 square feet apiece. Shalimar Management is developing the building, which it expects to break ground on later this year, and 5D Architecture & Engineering is serving as the architect of record.
