Work is Starting on the Glassy Mixed-Use Build Planned Near 5Pointz

Spotted: scaffolding going up around 22-22 Jackson Avenue, the future site of a mixed-use, 10-story building with a glassy, boxy design. The developer filed a plan for 182 residential units with retail, bike storage, a library, pool, gym and rooftop space this summer. The DOB has not yet approved the plans, but did issue a demolition permit for the existing two-story building on site. The developer Jeff Gershon purchased the building, right across the street from 5Pointz, for $16,500,000 in January. Check out the rendering designed by ODA Architecture after the jump.
