Development Watch: 93 Nevins Street
We stopped by the worksite at 93 Nevins Street during the Open House NY event last fall when the focus was on stabilizing the old brick structure, which had sat empty since being gutted by a fire back in 1980.

We stopped by the worksite at 93 Nevins Street during the Open House NY event last fall when the focus was on stabilizing the old brick structure, which had sat empty since being gutted by a fire back in 1980. The former launderette is now being converted into two townhouses by adding another two stories. The whole thing is being done to conform to the American Lung Association’s (ALA) Health House program, which is focused on the toxic emmisions from building materials. Not surprisingly, this green angle is forming the basis of the property’s marketing campaign. Judging from our swing-by last week, construction isn’t exactly flying along though. No word on when this puppy should be ready or what kind of dough the developers are going to be looking to extract from buyers.

Does it seem a bit ironic that with all the green hype the building is slated to have parking for 2 cars? (or maybe only hybrids allowed to park?)
Does anyone know who did the graphics for the banner?
i watch this development every day. work seems to have stopped for about a week now.
as the two units they’re building were going to be $1.9M each, i was kind of thinking that maybe the jump in jumbo mortgage rates might have sent the developer’s back to the drawing board.
probably just coincidence in timing, though, or the contractor going on vacation in august.
during last fall’s open house, they said they’d be ready for occupancy this fall.
i’m not a big fan of that rendering on the earlier post
