Construction Begins on 110th Street and Manhattan Avenue

Posted on May 21, 2012 by | 1 Comment

Construction has begun on the corner of West 110th Street and Manhattan Avenue.  The lot has been vacant for sometime as the previous building was demolished a few years back and finally a crane has appeared and the ground has been broken.

I spoke with one of the workmen and asked him what will be going up here he replied “Condos” (surprise).  I had dinner with someone at Melbas recently and met one of the developers for this building who had mentioned construction would begin shortly.  I believe there will also be retail space which will add to the businesses on this strip, the Bike Shop, Dry Cleaners and Cafe Amrita.

More on this story as it develops.
