Proposed residential skyscraper in Manhattan, New York
247 Cherry is a 79-story residential building under development in the Lower East Side of Manhattan , New York City . The building was designed by SHoP Architects , and is being developed by JDS Development Group .[ 1] Renderings for the building were first released in April 2016. The building will be adjacent to One Manhattan Square .[ 2] [ 3] [ 4] [ 5] [ 6] 247 Cherry will be developed in conjunction with two other nearby skyscrapers: 269 South Street and 259 Clinton Street .[ 6]
Development of the building was halted in July 2016 due to a lawsuit pertaining to a site adjacent the structure.[ 7] [ 8] In July 2018, the developers released a new plan that would also contain several improvements to the surrounding area, including a new entrance to the New York City Subway 's East Broadway station, connections between Clinton Street and the East River , renovations of nearby playgrounds, and flood-resistance upgrades.[ 9] The city's Planning Commission also scheduled a vote on the project.[ 10] Although politicians and grassroots organizations opposed the project, the City Planning Commission approved it in December 2018.[ 11] The developments were blocked by a New York Supreme Court judge in late February 2020.[ 12]
