I always wondered if it was just a matter of time before LES (being so close to the two most important CBD's in the country) would see more expensive housing.

There's also a new luxury apartment building that'll soon go up across the street to the north of that site. Can't find the link, but only 8-15 stories I'd imagine. |

Seward Park Developer To Be Announced Tomorrow
Ed Litvak September 17, 2013 Tomorrow is a big day for the Lower East Side. The city is poised to announce the development team it has chosen for the Seward Park site. http://i1.wp.com/www.thelodownny.com...size=500%2C361 Since this past May, when proposals were due, city planners have been working on selecting a developer for the nine parcels near the Williamsburg Bridge — a site that languished since 1967. Yesterday word began to spread throughout the neighborhood that the process had come to an end. Both successful and unsuccessful bidders received phone calls from city officials. A community task force, sworn to secrecy, has been advising city agencies in charge of the project. Last night, at a Community Board 3 hearing, task force member David McWater, co-chair of CB3′s land use committee, said he had just returned from the offices of the NYC Economic Development Corp., where a Seward Park meeting had taken place. He did not specify the purpose of the meeting but there is little doubt today why task force members had been called together. Our information comes from multiple sources, but not from task force members. The Seward Park plan calls for 1000 units of housing (50% of it affordable), a large amount of commercial space and a new Essex Street Market. The site is the most valuable city-owned development parcel in Manhattan. City officials were intent on selecting a developer before Mayor Bloomberg leaves office at the end of the year. Can't wait to see what they've come up with! They have had about half a century of prep-time after all....:haha: |

First post
OMG i screwed up my first post. Can't believe I forgot to write which city it is in . Now its only displayed as Spura instead of NEW YORK | SPURA.
how do i change that? |
wow, sort of sucks that they'll be redeveloping the essex market, it's pretty awesome as it is, definitely something out of the old lower east.
hopefully, as part of the redevelopment, there's something done about the tree canopy along delancey, it's hellish out there in the sun. could use trees spaced every 10 feet AND a nice solid green meridian down the center of the street from the bridge. such a minor investment would do so much. |

So underwhelming but not SHoP's fault; this is a major disappointment and an underutilization of space.
|
It's better than the parking lots that are there now. And also, it blocks out the view of the public housing high rises, so that's a benefit.
What do you mean by its not SHoP's fault? |
Development
Btw these are the blocks that are under development.

This is a great looking project that will liven up the area that seemed quite dead IMO.

This is what happens when the "community" has a say in what and how big something gets built. Yes it is better than vacant lots but this is a huge lost opportunity. |

I think it would be more beneficial if the site was sold off for redevelopment-- it's not like people bothered to keep the place in good shape. |
