Lower East Side’s former Essex Street Market to become 99-unit rental

The site of the historic Essex Street Market on the Lower East Side is slated to become a mixed-use development with 99 apartments. As one of the last remaining undeveloped parcels in the city’s decade-long Essex Crossing redevelopment, 100 Essex Street will rise 10 stories and include 26 affordable apartments, ground-floor retail, and a new elevator and escalator for the Delancey Street subway station. Many vendors moved to a new and larger Essex Street Market across the street as part of the redevelopment. “Essex Street – Delancey Street.” The architects designed 100 Essex Street to reflect the neighborhood’s historic tenement buildings while also incorporating the vibrancy of the Lower East Side.
