296 West 10th Street

That is one huge lot across the street, running all the way through to Charles. Seems as if it'd carry more than what's there plus four floors. Any development in Manhattan triggers lots of community blah blah blah, so you can probably dig around and find out what's going on.

Anyway, actual construction goes pretty quickly, given how much delay costs the developer. Not all that noisy, except for cement trucks, and all the white noise from the West Side Highway half a block away might mask that.

Thanks NWT, very helpful. Have researched it, it is a condo development called 150 Charles and it sounds like it will be more than the four new floors, as you have said. Sounds enormous and probably turns me of 296 West 10th to be honest.

Under current market conditions? 10 years?
