Development Watch: Unstable at 255 Fourth Avenue?

The condo build at 255 Fourth Avenue, on the corner of Carroll Street, hit a major snag a few weeks ago when it became apparent that construction was destabilizing the building next door. According to a source, residents in the neighboring building had to be evacuated, and there’s now a partial stop-work order on the project’s DOB page. Contractors have apparently been brought in to buttress the existing building before construction on 255 Fourth proceeds. The 12-story condo was designed by—wait for it—Scarano Architects and, according to property records, is being developed by Essex Capital Partners. Essex, which is headed by Mitch Rutter, is best known as a big-time player on Manhattan’s commercial real estate scene; the firm received a lot of press in 2000 when it announced (and shortly thereafter scrapped) plans to build a Norman Foster-designed skyscraper on Fifth Avenue and 42nd Street.

This isn’t even a Scarano project. I think this is KSQ Architects, and I had heard it was going to be one of the nicest designs in that area. Though, who knows on the construction schedule.
ACTION JACKSON,
Your continued attacks on Robert Scarano may come back to bit you in the ASS one day especially since you know nothing of what you speak about and are making a fool of yourself by being so self absorbed. Get a life, a job too and maybe one day you can afford to buy a small studio apartment in one of his AWARD WINNING PROJECTS.
And as for Jon, How much did you have to give your kid sister to tag that sign so you could get that shot? Five dollars maybe.
Losers one and all.
This construction site has been nothing but a hole in the ground for almost a year.
This rudder guy is an amateur. What a dump!
