An update on our very tall upcoming neighbor:
Greenwich Spire (aka “11 W 13th“) is now rising on the northern edge of Greenwich Village, adjacent to Union Square, where deck-forming is now visible on the 7th level of the eventual 30-story luxury residential tower. The team of Legion Investment Group & EJS Group are behind the 109,000 SF project that contains 34 for-sale units, yielding an average, yet generous unit size of 3,200 SF. Additional uses include, 2,400 SF of retail and 7 enclosed parking spaces. Leroy Street Studio will handle the interior design; however renderings for interiors have not been made available at this stage of the project. The General Contractor for the 502′-tall structure is Titanium Construction, who advertises a completion target of mid-2028. Corcoran Sunshine is marketing the property and should launch sales sometime next year. Greenwich Spire replaces a 7-story mid-century commercial property, last home to a branch of NYC Dept. of Social Services.
Karaoke Boho has struggled to open at the old Crunch location on East 13th St. for six months. Now a slight change: in addition to karaoke, the store is offering a full Korean restaurant, some competition for the adorable Do Sirak on our block.
Niall will be away until Thursday October 15.
