Permits have been filed for a seven-story mixed-use building at 88 East 2nd Street in Manhattan’s East Village. Located near the northwest intersection of First Avenue and East 2nd Street, the lot is near the Bleecker Street subway station, serviced by the 6 train. Manny Ashourzadeh of Romah Management Corp. is listed as the owner behind the applications.
The proposed 73-foot-tall development will yield 19,278 square feet, with 16,283 square feet designated for residential space and 2,994 square feet for commercial space. The building will have 22 residences, most likely rentals based on the average unit scope of 740 square feet. The concrete-based structure will also have a cellar.
Gerald Caliendo Architects is listed as the architect of record.
Demolition permits have not been filed yet. An estimated completion date has not been announced.

Oh lord, a Gerald Caliendo foray into Manhattan. This will suck.
Let’s hope Badaly stays out of Manhattan
It never ceases to amaze me how little your writers actually know about the city. So your intern entered “88 E 2nd St” into Google Maps, it erroneously returned an image of what is obviously an avenue, in this case First Ave (protected bike lane, retail storefronts), and the poor intern couldn’t even be bothered to check it. Then, for some insane reason the Bleecker St station is named as the closest subway when this location is ONLY ONE BLOCK from the 2nd Avenue Station of the F line. Really, I know you don’t pay your interns anything (“we pay with experience!”) but just try to get one with a little bit of critical thinking.
88 East 2nd Street is the corner building, to the right of the tree. This is easily checked on Google Street View: the sushi place adjacent to the west of the corner building is 84 East 2nd. The Stars Pizza building on 1st Avenue is obviously included in the development site, but doesn’t reflect the address of the project.
The development actually extends across three lots. In the photo above, the laundry, the pizza place, and the Chinese takeout, which is the ground floor of a (I think) 5-story walk-up. All vacated. It’s a corner lot, Second St is not visible, to the left of the laundry. 2nd Ave -F- literally steps away. EV grieve dot com for East Village info.
Looks like another cheap blue box probably because it is another cheap blue box
Was about time. That pizza place has been sitting empty for about ten years…
I remember a time when you’d never see a Mercedes parked anywhere near that location!
