East Village

Back in 2014, YIMBY revealed renderings of Ozymandius Realty and Orange Management’s planned eight-story, 27-unit mixed-use building at 75 First Avenue in the East Village. Now, the long-time owners are selling the site to Colonnade Group. The site allows for an eight-story, 35,000 square foot building with retail, but it’s not known whether the new developer intends to follow the previously filed plans. The previous owners began assembling the site in 2005, when a 14-story building could have been built, before the city downzoned the East Village in 2008, according to The Real Deal. NO Architecture designed the old proposal.

A top-down renovation is nearly complete at the four-story, two-unit mixed-use building at 95 Avenue B, in the East Village. According to EV Grieve, a newly constructed retail unit is now available on the ground floor. The Schedule A notes two residential units occupy the upper floors of the building, and those have also been gut-renovated. Clinton Hill-based PH Architecture + Sustainable is the architect of record, and scaffolding has recently been removed, indicating opening is likely imminent.
