10-Story ODA Condo Tops out on Chrystie Street
One of two ODA-designed condo towers along Chrystie just reached the top.
The construction at 165 Chrystie Street topped out within the last couple weeks, boasting the token visuals of vertical completion. Flags. Not one, two, or three, but four national flags. A veritable United Nations forum with America, Russia, China, and Israel.
Reaching this structural apex took a lengthy two years from demolition of the predecessor.
As previously reported, the ten-story replacement will boast nine full-floor dwellings (presumably condos) including a first-floor duplex across 17,188 square-feet of residential area.
Before the wrecking ball, 165 Chrystie Street had previously operated as a restaurant supply business. SoHo-based DRK Chrystie LLC acquired the two-story property a few years ago for $8.4 million.
