The following week (August 22 to August 26 ), we will continue with concrete foundation walls, line drilling, rock excavation, loading out, and interior core foundation work & underground plumbing. DEP will continue to work on the water main along 13th Street. The site will be open on Saturday, August 13th. Work hours are between 9AM and 5PM as permitted by the City.

There will be no rock excavation, rock chopping, or hauling on Saturday.

All New York locations of Crumbs bakery, including the one on University Place, unceremoniously shuttered last night. No more cupcakes.

By now we all know that the Bowlmor Lanes building on University Place is scheduled for demolition and will be replaced by condos. Goodbye, Stromboli Pizza, Japonica, and Vive La Crepe. Luckily, the newsstand is relocating across the street. Changes….

Next week (December 24 to December 28), material and equipment deliveries and installation work will continue on all floors inside the building. The site will be closed on December 25th for the holiday but will be open on Monday the 24th and Wednesday the 26th.

The following week (December 31 to January 4), Material and equipment deliveries and installation work will continue on all floors.

This weekend the site will be open on Saturday, December 22nd for interior and superstructure related activities between the work hours of 7AM and 5PM as permitted by the City.

That sinkhole that opened up on University Place between 11th and 12th Streets certainly was something.
