Renderings Revealed for Morris Adjmi-Designed 119-121 2nd Avenue, East Village

Plans for the replacement at 119-121 2nd Avenue have been submitted to the Landmark Preservation Commission, allowing the public a first look at what may be coming to an East Village corner. The three lots previously on the site were cleared from the devastating 2015 East Village gas explosion, which injured 19 and caused two deaths.

Nexus Development will be responsible for the rebuild, first revealed by EV Grieve.
