More than three years after the BSA voted against granting a variance to developer Isaac Katan on 15th Street, the smaller building rising on the land in question—which fronts both 15th and 16th streets—is starting to show itself. The development was originally supposed to be the sister building of the Vue but was only allowed to be built to 5 stories. A resident of the block said that he’s concerned about the influx of cars that he believes will descend upon 16th Street when the project’s garage is complete: Between this and the Vue, he says 16th Street is primed to become a “traffic nightmare.”
