In place of a gas station, the lot at
140 Sixth Avenue (Sixth Avenue & Spring Street) may
soon feature a new building designed by
Anthony Morali. The building has already been
dubbed "a little Lipstick" (in an obvious nod to
Philip Jonson & John Burgee's "Lipstick" on Third Avenue
and 53rd street).
The Downtown Express quotes Mr.Morali as saying that, in his opinion, the building (whose design features two structures of different heights and styles) will be "in the context" of the neighborhood.
The project also will include an environmentally-advanced feature: building-integrated photovoltaic collectors.
The required rezoning is expected to take about six months.
