Description
An East Village Original. Grandfathered Volume.
223 East 2nd Street rises seven stories above a block where current zoning no longer permits it. At 15,766 square feet — six open loft units, ground-floor commercial, and a basement — the building offers what architects and developers recognize on sight: original bones, loft-scale floor plates, and a façade that has no contemporary equivalent.
