Isang Orihinal ng East Village. Naipasa sa Volume.
Ang 223 East 2nd Street ay umabot ng pitong palapag sa isang bloke kung saan ang kasalukuyang zoning ay hindi na ito pinapayagan. Sa sukat na 15,766 square feet — anim na bukas na loft unit, komersyal sa ground-floor, at isang basement — ang gusali ay nag-aalok ng kung ano ang kinikilala ng mga arkitekto at developer sa kanyang hitsura: orihinal na mga balangkas, sukat ng loft na sahig, at isang harapang walang katumbas sa makabagong panahon.

Lokasyon
Ang East 2nd Street ay nasa interseksyon ng malikhain na pamana ng East Village at ang patuloy na ebolusyon nito. Napapaligiran ng mga independiyenteng gallery, mga restawrang pinamumunuan ng mga chef, at mga dekada ng kulturang kasaysayan, ang address ay ilang hakbang mula sa Tompkins Square Park at ang siksik ng Lower East Side. Ito ay isang bloke na hindi kailanman naging generic — at isang gusali na nagpapatunay nito.

An East Village Original. Grandfathered Volume.
223 East 2nd Street rises seven stories above a block where current zoning no longer permits it.

Location
East 2nd Street sits at the intersection of the East Village's creative legacy and its continued evolution.

This is a block that has never been generic — and a building that proves it.
