I am one of the developers of the site. Just to clear up a couple of misconceptions: the building will be a 7-story mixed-use condominium with commercial space at grade and residential units above built as of right; their is no buyer/tenant for the ground floor yet. We can not market the units until AG approval. Jeffrey McKean is the architect. We are planning a building with a green roof and sustainable materials per our green-building program. Stay tuned for our web-site for more information.
re – the bldg on 7th & 2nd, it’s owned by an eccentric woman and her daughter, who used to run an equally eccentric bar on the ground floor – it would open only when they felt like it, and percussion instruments would be passed out to the clientele. They evidently don’t want to fix it up and are unmotivated by profit, so the building will continue its slow deterioration indefinitely.
Rumor has it one if not both corners have been sold. i will check with my source on 15th St. and see what other info I can drum up. He’s friendly with the fruit stand folks and the 99 cent store and they were told a condo dev was going up. Rumor mill a runnith over…

Anon at 11:47 am again. Please ignore questions 2 and 3. Your posting answered 2 and I figured 3 out.
Aida:
Sounds great!
1. If you need green roof plants, see http://www.motherplants.net.
2. Do you have a retail tenant yet?
3. What is your website?
Thanks

There is a 99 cent store at 16th and 5th, but not at 15th and 5th.
7x2nd: The Landmark pub, of course. Was the place to be about 12 years ago.
I heard that a gap was going in?
