Development Watch: 120 South 8th Street Almost Ready
We happened to bump into the builder of 120 South 8th Street last week as we were on the street snapping a photo. It turns out that the 66-unit building (which replaced these two 19th-century structures) should be ready for move-in some time in October. Not surprisingly, it’ll be a rental.

Can someone please enlighten me about what it means when a building is described as ‘soulless’ ???
it means the only types of people who can afford to live in the building are people with money. and to a lot of people having money is being soulless!
now im feeling nostalgiac for soul train
*rob*
Agree re: soulless.
An apartment can’t be soulless, but the person living there could be. But that has nothing to do with the housing type.
Personally I think this looks like crap in a not very good location, but it’s not soulless. It has a very unoriginal and depressing looking soul to me, but at least it has one.
1500 $ studios will be like 20 dollar martinis in Manhattan soon.

it sounds very silly and i hear it thrown around alot here.
This looks nothing like the rendering.It is a flat and yes soul-less crapola. GAVNOV!
Exactly, DH.
The building on S2nd and Bedford that leased in a day priced their studios at 1,800. So it would make sense that these would be priced a tad cheaper – as this is not as a desireable location. but who knows.
“Come on lady…you really think the developers of these pieces of crap want to live above the tenants so when things start going wrong, they are IN the building?”
I think Ian Schrager actually lives in the penthouse of 40 Bond St – but then again, 40 Bond isn’t the Novo or NSP.
Tyburg:
This is 2006 Manhattan data, but just to give you an idea:
“Downtown continues to be the most expensive
rental market with an average studio renting
for $2,470 per month. The average studio
on the Upper West Side of Manhattan will
now cost $2,313, while the Upper East Side
averages $2,125.”
Yes, a 1500 studio is fairly inexpensive.
