We were in the area today, and spotted a hole in the ground, across the street from one of the G8-Life homes on Amber Street in East Kensington.

New home across the street

The hole

2074 E. York St. was purchased by 2074 E. York Lp (clever name) earlier this year for just under $45K. According to zoning applications, the plan for this extra wide lot is for a single family home. Curiously, only a two story home is proposed. A parking space will also be included here.

Meanwhile, looking just a few feet up the street, another project appears to be on the horizon from green builders Hybrid Construction. Looking at the zoning applications, two four story homes will rise here, each with sunken patios and roof decks. The sign on the site suggests a second go-round for Postgreen‘s First Steel project, which was constructed earlier this year on Howard Street in Kensington.

Does anyone who lives in the area have any more information about these two projects? Does anyone know why the corner will only be two stories? Will the Hybrid homes indeed resemble their First Steel brethren, or is the sign merely a placeholder?
