All of the East Village sites are going at a good pace. It's going to be great this summer watching Verve rise. At the rate ALT is going, we should see it rising this summer as well.

Hello everyone,

This is my first post here and I will start with a little update from yesterday:

Nice first post Da_Master!

Canyon-like 'Rift' starting to take shape at Verve in the East Village

It's going to be nice watching the shape of the Riff develop over the summer.

Thanks for the updates FR, SP, and Cyric. I'm kind of excited for this more than The Hat, Ink and Alt Hotel, as I'd like to see how EV feels with something developed in the middle of it, and to see how the Riff fits in.

What really surprised me when I was by the site yesterday was how narrow the Riff looks like it is going to be. Based on the renderings I had envisioned a wider space.

Does anyone know if the Riff portion is public or privately owned? I had always assumed public, in which case you'd hope they made it fairly wide. On the other hand a more narrower passageway with restos and retail may give it a Melbourne Lane-way Feel.

Looks like it is in the land parcels for the MEWS, so most likely public? When the parcels are updated for the RIFF.

Is block 55 going to have a pedestrian way through the middle also?

 

[Cyric]

Yes, that's the plan.
