If you're wondering what giant development is going up like gangbusters on 14th Street near 9th Avenue, here it is.
It's DDG Partner's "
Gansevoort Square." The name pulls the Meatpacking District into what is not the Meatpacking District, tugging the neighborhood's glamor eastward.
In case you think it's too far from MePa, the copy reassures that it's "no more than a stone’s throw away from the many amenities the neighborhood offers."
It's topped with five penthouse apartments and "will also feature some of the Meatpacking District’s newest ground-up luxury retail, creating a natural transition into the vibrant shopping and cultural district."
The rendering, covered with runaway greenery, brings to mind a post-apocalyptic scene. I can't help but think of
Lori Nix's dioramas.
