Foundation Work Underway on Eight-Story, 73-Unit Apartment-Hotel at 138 Bowery, Little Italy

Foundation work is well underway on the eight-story, 73-unit apartment-hotel under development at 138 Bowery, in Little Italy. Work can be seen in images from an update by Bowery Boogie. The 53,088-square-foot project will rise 85 feet in height, per the latest building permits. Retail space will occupy parts of the ground floor and an upper mezzanine level, followed by a 46 hotel rooms on the second through fifth floors. The top three floors will contain 27 residential units, averaging 513 square feet apiece. Emmut Properties is the developer and Middle Village-based Allen Shinfeld is currently listed as the applicant of record. Completion is expected in late 2017.

Reveal for Eight-Story, 67-Unit Apartment-Hotel at 138-142 Bowery, Little Italy

Back in September of 2015, YIMBY reported on applications for an eight-story, 67-unit apartment-hotel at 138-142 Bowery, in Little Italy. Now, Bowery Boogie has revealed renderings of the project and has reported that demolition of the site’s existing two- and three-story structures has been completed. The new building will encompass 53,088 square feet, and will host 46 hotel rooms and 21 residential units. There will be commercial-retail space on the cellar, ground, and mezzanine levels, so it’s difficult to estimate the size of the hotel rooms. The apartments will span the sixth through eights floors and should average a rental-sized 658 square feet apiece. Emmut Properties is the developer and New Jersey-based Schneider Associates is serving as the applicant of record. Completion is expected in 2017. The developer closed on the development assemblage last October for $47 million.

Developer Closes On 138 Bowery Assemblage, Eight-Story Mixed-Use Development, Nolita

Early last September, YIMBY reported on filings for an eight-story mixed-use building, with 64 hotel rooms and 21 residential units, at 134-142 Bowery, in Nolita. Now, developer Emmut Properties has purchased the assemblage for $47 million. The new development will measure roughly 47,000 square feet, and the residential units will probably be rentals, averaging just 659 square feet. Demolition permits were filed over the past year to raze the existing two- and three-story buildings.

Permits Filed: Hotel and Apartments at 138 Bowery, Little Italy

Back in 2011, the Wall Street Journal predicted the demise of the Bowery’s Lighting District, a strip of wholesale light stores beginning south of Delancey Street in the borderlands between the Lower East Side and Little Italy. Now three of those shops will bite the dust to make way for an eight-story residential and hotel project at 138 Bowery, situated mid-block between Broome and Grand Streets.
