L to R: 193 Henry Street and 201-203 East Broadway (via LoopNet)
With a tidal wave of towers set to lap onto its shores, the Lower East Side is fast becoming one of the most active neighborhoods in Manhattan. Per our sales data, closing condo prices have nearly doubled in the past year with sales inside big-ticket developments like 204 Forsyth and 215 Chrystie shattering local records. Over in the neighborhood’s southeastern corner, between Essex Crossing, Two Bridges, and Chinatown, a pair of boutique condos are making headway at 193 Henry Street and 201 East Broadway. The buildings are sited near Seward Park and two blocks from the evolving East River waterfront.

Both ground-up developments are being designed by Brooklyn-based Think Architecture. 193 Henry Street is to rise seven stories and offer five floor-through condos on levels 2-6. Per property records, the site’s owner is listed as Daniel Wise’s 193 Henry LLC / 201 EB Development III LLC, who snapped up the 25-foot-wide parcel in 2015 for $4.15 million. The building replaces a classic red-brick walk-up that once held The Mount Zion Church of Christ and was crowned by a beautiful cornice.

Renderings show the replacement will be unabashedly modern with a striated gray façade and a playful assortment of picture windows; some surrounded by projecting frames.
