275 South Street building entrance.
BY ONDEL HYLTON • [6sqft] – May 30, 2016
The Two Bridges waterfront is one of the last bastions of affordability in lower Manhattan, but lately it seems word is getting out about its scenic waterfront locale that overlooks the rejuvenated East River shoreline and turn-of-the-century suspension bridges. Recently, two of the city’s top high-end builders, Extell and JDS Development have penned soaring towers for the down-to-earth corner of the Lower East Side. Adjacent to those developments, sits the rental building 275 South Street, which is currently undergoing a dramatic overhaul that will renovate its exterior, makeover many of its capacious apartments, and debut a brand-new package of amenities.
275 South Street building has views of the East River
The 19-story, white-brick building was finished in 1978, and its footprint is oriented to give most of its 278 apartments views of the East River and its B-M-W crossovers. The full-scale renovation is being undertaken by Nelson Management Group, through its investment arm Global One Investments, and L+M Development Partners. It will build a verdant rooftop deck designed by ORE Design + Technology. According to a press release, the rooftop forest will emulate the look and feel of the High Line and will be decked with light wood planking and similar greenery.

Renovated homes feature large king- and queen-sized bedrooms, an abundance of closet space, white oak floors, new A/C units, and separate kitchens with stainless steel appliances.
