By Carter Horsley   |   From Archives Wednesday, August 31, 2005
Construction is nearing completion of the 5-unit condominium apartment building at 115 Allen Street just one door north of Delancey Street on the Lower East Side.

The development involves a gray-metal-clad, three-floor addition on top of a five-story, red-brick building that has fire escapes.

The apartments have exposed brick walls, glazed brick fireplaces, floor-to-ceiling windows, built-in overhead lighting, and central air conditioning. The building has a laundry room and the elevator is key-locked.

The top three-floors have very tall windows and are very visible as this building is now one of the higher ones in the neighborhood, which includes The Hotel on Rivington nearby to the east and 199 Bowery nearby to the west.

The building has four full-floor apartments on floors 2 through 5 and a penthouse triplex with 2,610 square feet of interior space and 1,391 square feet of interior space and a spiral staircase visible through tall windows from the south.

The building's north facade is painted white and has many windows overlooking a lot.

115 Allen St. Development Corp. is the developer.

CAN Resources is the architect and its other projects include the restaurant at Lever House and the Standard Hotel in Los Angeles.

There is a southbound bus stop directly in front of the building.
