Work Progresses on Essex Crossing’s 180 and 202 Broome Street on the Lower East Side – New York YIMBY

YIMBY went to check in on the progress of the nine-building Essex Crossingcomplex on Manhattans Lower East Side, where two structures are getting closer to completion. The exterior of Handel Architects 180 Broome Street is almost finished, while faade work is rapidly progressing on the CetraRuddy-designed 202 Broome Street. Both mixed-usedevelopments join the six-acre master plan that is expected to cost $1 billion and will bring more than 1,000 new homes, 100,000 square feet of green space, over 350,000 square feet of offices, and 300,000 square feet of retail to the booming neighborhood. Triton Construction is the general contractor for the project.

180 Broome Street stands 26 stories and will yield 121 affordable rentals and 142 market-rate units, 10,000 square feet of retail space with 700 feet of sidewalk frontage, a 9,000-square-foot landscaped atrium, and 175,000 square feet of office space on levels two through five.

Developed by Delancey Street Associates,BFC Partners,L+M Development Partners,Taconic Investment Partners,The Prusik Group, andGoldman Sachs Urban Investment Group, Essex Crossing is rising from a swath of empty and undeveloped parcels at the foot of the Williamsburg Bridge. The closest subways are the J, F, M, and Z trains found at the Delancey Street/Essex Street subway station. The pedestrian and bicycle paths that lead into the Williamsburg Bridge are directly in front along Delancey Street and provide easy and scenic access to Brooklyn.

180 and 202 Broome Street are expected to be finished by the end of 2020. Essex Crossing as a whole is slated for completion by 2024.
