Construction is set to commence at 130 Lafayette Street, the site of a 25-story residential building in Soho, Manhattan. Designed by Marvel and developed by Trammell Crow, the structure will yield 104 rental units and ground-floor retail space. A portion of the residential inventory will be dedicated to affordable housing. The property is located between Howard and Canal Streets. The renderings depict a red brick-clad tower with an orderly grid of recessed windows culminating in a flat roof. Several shallow setbacks on the upper half of the building are shown topped with landscaped terraces lined with dark metal railings. It is unclear what the northern lot line wall will look like. Given its substantial height for the neighborhood, residents on the upper stories will have panoramic views of the Lower Manhattan and Midtown skylines. Sidewalk fencing and barriers have been placed in front of the site, where an excavator and other machinery have arrived and are awaiting the start of work.
