A landmarked collection of buildings in the Meatpacking District is about to get a dramatic revamp.

Curbed also reported on the project’s progress yesterday, and completion is currently expected in 2016.
A rather sad little three-story storefront with apartments above it has been neglected for years at 1516 Fulton Street, on the corner of Throop Avenue and across the street from the entrance to the C train.
