The new ICP that I went to on Thursday is part of a redevelopment area called Essex Crossing. It is an under-construction mixed-use development in New York City's Lower East Side. The development, at the intersection of Delancey Street and Essex Street just north of Seward Park, will comprise nearly 2,000,000 square feet of space on 6 acres. The development will cost an estimated US $1.1 billion. It will sit on a total of nine city blocks, most of them occupied by parking lots that replaced tenements razed in 1967. So that explains all the buildings with graffiti. And this building is amazing how it stands out. It is called the Blue Tower and was built in 2007 and is part of the redevelopment and all the buildings in the foreground will be town down.
