225 Grand Street Bricked

The first of bit of facade is going up on this Grand Street rental tower; the Marin Boulevard side of the tower is getting covered with goldenrod bricking.



So far it seems the tower will have a set back on the Grand Street elevation.

The Grand Street Tower should have reached its full height. The center of the structure is still empty, but will likely be filled in as construction continues.

255 Grand Street continues to rise at a rapid rate. The New York Times mentions that the tower will top out at 15 stories.

255 Grand Street

The new tower rising on the corner of Grand Street and Marin Blvd, just north of Gull's Cove has made some remarkable progress, adding two floors and extending the base around the property. The most remarkable thing about this building is how it illustrates the height variation along Marin Blvd. The foundation wall rises dramatically as it approaches Grand Street.

On the corner of Grand and Marin, the first level of a multistory tower is underway. The project consists of 347 units.


Grand Street was lined with trees last year, but they have all been cut down.

Grand Street and Marin Blvd Tower

The lot at the corner of Grand Street and Marin Blvd continues to be excavated in preparation for a residential tower. The project reportedly will have three set backs of roughly 12, 8, and 5 stories each and include 347 housing units, 6,740 square feet of retail and 253 parking spaces.



Most of the construction on site so far appears to be simply the removal of debris, foundations and concrete from the previous structure. Large chunks of concrete are being broken into smaller pieces. A few pilings have been put into the ground so far.

The project is within the Liberty Harbor North redevelopment zone, but is being developed by Applied Housing in conjunction with Kushner properties. Applied is also to develop another property further east along Marin Blvd. That property is to have 498 units, 26,500 square feet of retail and 525 parking spaces; the online rendering of Applied's future project in Liberty Harbor is more likely this second, larger building rather than an image of the currently under construction project along Grand and Marin Blvd. The depiction of the light rail in that image suggests it is the second tower, which is not yet under construction.

Grand Street Tower

Pilings have been driven into the ground for a new residential tower on the corner of Grand and Marin Blvd. Behind the property is the recently completed Gulls Cove.



Based on the location of pilings, the footprint of the building will be massive, encompassing the entire block.
