Demolition work is finished at 289 Hudson Street, the site of a forthcoming six-story residential building in Hudson Square, Manhattan. Designed by SRA Architecture + Engineering and developed by Ponte Equities under the BNC289 LLC, the upcoming 73-foot-tall structure is planned to span 14,829 square feet and yield 15 rental units with an average scope of 688 square feet. There will also be 1,710 square feet of commercial space and a cellar level. The property is located at the corner of Hudson and Spring Streets, directly across from the recently completed New York headquarters for Disney at Four Hudson Square.
Recent photographs show the corner lot fully cleared of the former low-rise structure and partially excavated. The lot sits behind wraparound wooden fencing, while no excavation or construction machinery have been delivered to the site yet. When finished, the new building will eventually surpass the height of the abutting structures to the immediate south.

The nearest subways from the site are the C and E trains, located at the Spring Street station to the east on Sixth Avenue along the border of SoHo.
A construction timeline and set of finalized architectural renderings for the new 289 Hudson Street have yet to be publicly released.

Wayyy too many short buildings being filed below 59th street
Why only six stories?
Build taller! What’s up with such valuable real estate not being used to its full potential?
because Manhattan is sinking already due to the weight of high rises
Absurdly short. Should be at least 5x as tall. Stupid NIMBYs.
Height exceeds adjacent structures, but I don’t think it’s too high, right? Thanks.
Lot of jazz history there when it was the Half Note club from the ’50s-’70s. John Coltrane, Charlie Mingus, Bill Evans and a lot more heavyweights graced the stage.
