A First Look at Preliminary Plans for 15-Story Building at 24 Orchard St.
The building was sold in November 2020 for $6.7 million to NNYY LLC.
Just across the street from Regina's Grocery and adjacent to the old Scarr's Pizza building, a skinny building more than three times the height of its neighbors will rise to take the place of a two-story commercial space at 24 Orchard St. The 1910 low-rise building will be entirely replaced by a new tower that seeks to make the most of the 2200 sq ft lot.
The plans submitted in July 2021 reveal a mixed-use building with a complicated network of uniquely shaped and haphazardly placed balconies and windows, each floor different from the last, but never more than 25 feet wide.
The result is… interesting, it's at least different from the more blockish and mundane construction happening throughout much of the neighborhood. But honestly, as long as it's not 222 East Broadway at Seward, I won't complain.
It's worth noting that these designs were not drawn to scale, but it's unlikely that the final product will vary much.
There is a rooftop on the diagram, as well as a small rear yard.
It seems the old building has not had any tenants since the pandemic hit. Before that, there were two storefronts, one selling collectible toys and trading cards, and another selling hosiery (word of the day, describes garments worn directly on the feet and legs).
