Development Watch: Lexington Avenue Double-Shot

There's lots of action brewing on the westernmost block of Lexington Avenue. In addition to the recent completion of the parking lot behind 15 Quincy Street, two lots on the block are in the post-demolition, pre-construction phase. At 29 Lexington (left), the developer wants to build a five-story, ten-unit residential building but DOB has disapproved the initial plans. Same deal at 37 Lexington (right): Plans for a five-story, 24-unit building were disapproved back in February. Man, do we hope these aren't run-of-the-mill monstrosities. This block is too architecturally special to deserve that.

Jeeze! I used to live at 33 Lex (the 3 story in the middle) -- I was somewhat unfairly evicted, but I am glad I found an alternate address to avoid this demolition/construction mayhem.

3:49 -Have you checked out 95 Lexington Avenue? Corcoran has it listed. I was there last weekend and most units are gone, but there are still a few left.
