Construction is wrapping up on 199 Chrystie Street, a 14-story residential building on Manhattan’s Lower East Side. Designed by Thomas Juul-Hansen and developed by KD Sagamore Capital, which purchased the plot for $20 million, the 39,188-square-foot building will yield 14 homes in a staggered layout overlooking Sara D. Roosevelt Park. The project site is located near the intersection of Chrystie and Stanton Streets and was previously home to two buildings, 199 and 201 Chrystie Street.

Since our last update in July, work has progressed on the mechanical extension and the scaffolding surrounding it has begun to be dismantled. Some minor work remains to be completed around the ground floor, which is still fenced off.
