Essex Crossing’s second phase gets its first renderings
Quote:
It may have taken a while—half a decade, even—to get there, but since the Essex Crossing megaproject got its groundbreaking in 2015, progress at the Lower East Side site has been swift. A walk around the Seward Park Urban Renewal Area these days reveals four buildings, comprising the first phase of the megaproject, in various stages of completion.
And as those buildings—which will bring hundreds of apartments, many of them affordable, to the neighborhood—near the finish line, developer Delancey Street Associates (a collaboration between L & M Development Partners, BFC Partners, and Taconic) is gearing up for phase two. That stage of development will comprise three buildings, bringing hundreds of apartments, office space, and the Market Line to the project.
And now, new renderings, provided exclusively to Curbed, offer a glimpse at what that second phase will look like. Isaac Henderson, the project manager for Essex Crossing, also provided some new details on when to expect these myriad buildings to show their faces to the public.
The new images show off the buildings known as site three and four, which will be designed by CetraRuddy and Handel Architects, respectively. Site four (which is all the way to the left in the rendering above) will be home to part of the Market Line, along with 263 rentals (half of which will be affordable) and office space. Site three, in the middle of the rendering, will have market-rate condos, along with more office space, ground-floor retail, and yet another piece of the Market Line.
“Architecturally, three and four are really strong—they help complete what we’re doing along Delancey,” says Henderson. “Looking at two, three, and four together, you see the culmination of taking abandoned, vacant parking lots, and replacing them with three very diverse and interesting buildings.”
