Hot on the heels of news that the under-construction L-shaped condo on 4th Avenue between 6th and 7th streets is being branded the Argyle come intriguing images from Curbed that are supposed to represent a glassy building slated for 8th Street. We’re not certain which 4th Avenue parcel this bad boy’s meant to rise on—our best guess is 438 4th Avenue, a site where the DOB approved plans for a 12-story building in 2005 that were never realized—but, wow, doesn’t it look loads more interesting than most of the avenue’s other recentish developments? And is there movement on any other 4th Avenue sites, you ask? For sure. The DOB recently green-lighted the demolition of the old warehouse on 6th Street owned by Baruch Singer and Rosma Development, and it’s started to come down (see photo on jump). The developers’ plans to put a snazzy-looking Ten Arquitectos-designed condo on the site were sadly nixed, and there’s no word what’ll go up instead.
