Free Shredding Day May 19

From Curbed: Now that the demolition of the Greenwich Village building that once held Bowlmor Lanes (RIP) is complete, it paves the way for the 23-story tower that’s due to rise on the site. And now, Curbed has the first details on that development: The building, designed by Annabelle Selldorf, will be called 21E12, and a teaser site launches today. As for pricing, considering that these are Selldorf condos in a desirable neighborhood, they’re about as expensive as you might expect: one-bedrooms will start at $2.35 million; two-bedrooms will start at $3.95 million; three-bedrooms will go from $5.45 million; four-bedrooms, from $8.25 million; and a selection of townhouses and penthouses will range from $10.5 million to more than $15 million.

Life in Union Square is about to get a little tastier. The Real Deal reports that Dylan’s Candy Bar signed a long-term lease for 3,300 square feet at 33 Union Square West between Blue Water Grill and Heartland Brewery. Loosen you belts, because sweet addition joins Breads Bakery on the west side of Union Square, which has already become a neighborhood hit with its sweet baked goods.

Anyone curious about what is happening to real estate values in our neighborhood (hint: they’re going down) should know about StreetEasy, currently the best available resource for block-by-block and apartment-by-apartment comparisons of current listings, including recent prices. An invaluable resource as we navigate these interesting economic times.

Now taking reservations, the latest location of Serafina, at University and 12th.

The closing of The Adore is a real loss to the block. Here’s a great article on the history of that fascinating little building. Rumored to come next: a high-end cocktail lounge.

Next week (June 24 to June 28), material and equipment deliveries and installation work will continue on all floors inside the building. Additionally we will be working on the roofs of the building.
The following week (July 1 to July 5), material and equipment deliveries and installation work will continue on all floors as well as sidewalk work.
